This act ties Victor and Walton as if they are living the same life. Both, unlike the creature, can truly connect because they share the same experience. .
Unlike the relationship between Victor and Walton, no one can relate with the creature, and therefore, he desires a mate. His eloquence stuns Victor, merely winning the sympathy of the reader and, for a moment, also Walton's. Although his language can get him past his looks he is still left in the dark; there is no one to share his experience and truly understand his situation. He asserts to Victor, "You must create a female for me, with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being" (118). The creature talks about "sympathies" as a necessity of his life. Using the word "interchange" he implies that life is merely a concoction of the senses. This is entirely true for his situation. He explains that he needs an interaction with a being that will give him sympathy, which means that he needs another to share his experience in order to understand him Later, the creature vows to ruin Victor's life if he doesn't obey. He says, "I will work at your destruction, nor finish until I desolate your heart, so that you curse the hour of your birth" (119). Besides paralleling his horrible birth with Victor, the creature is willing to give his life to a destiny of revenge if he cannot receive those sympathies he needs. His language conveys that without sympathy, his life will be characterized only by destruction. Without one who experiences his pain and can therefore understand him, the creature remains alone. .
The fact that the reader cannot choose with whom to sympathize with proves that there is a communication barrier. Even language, the deepest communication can lead one astray. This proves that one can only truly understand another through experience. In the first volume the reader can sympathize with Victor because it is all through Victors" eyes.
