"Are you mad, my friend? said he; or whither does your senseless curiosity lead you? Would you also create for yourself and the world a demoniacal enemy? Peace, Peace! learn my miseries, and do not seek to increase your own."
This quote is Victor telling Walton why he won't tell him details of the creation process. I think this is a good thing because his action ruined his life and made him miserable. It also killed four people. No one should ever know how he did what he did because it was a danger to all people. Walton even wants to know the details after the story even though Victor told him at the beginning that no one should know what he does. I think Walton is crazy for even yearning for the knowledge that made Victor so miserable for so long. However, I am impressed that Victor was able to create life. To me, that is very impressive, but apparently it is dangerous and uncontrollable. I think it is good that Victor died as the sole person with the knowledge to create life because based on his experiences, it should never be done again.
