Symbolic significance of Clerval, and foreshadowing in Ch.18-20

In chapters 18-20 of Frankenstein Henry Clerval represents the good scientist who had a great appreciation for nature. He also represents the meaning of companionship because not only did he travel to England with Victor but he was always there in Victor's time of need. In chapters 18-20 the monster is feeling isolated and has asked Victor to create a female monster. Victor who is currently feeling guilty about the death of William and Justine is completely terrified of the decision he is about to make but is sure of his love for Elizabeth and has no choice but to agree with the monsters deal. Although Victor recognizes that creating the female creature is an abomination and clearly a crime against humanity, he begins to grow impatient and wants to begin the experiment to be free from the monster forever. While working on the female creature foreshadowing takes place; Victor sees an image of the person he used to be within Clerval. After Victor's understanding of the possible outcome of his decision, he destroys his work completely which makes the creature angry. Because Victor did not fulfill his part of the deal the creature tells Victor that he will be there on his wedding day. Throughout the chapters Victor states "Clerval is watching over me" with that statement the reader can conclude Clerval's death.http://www.literaturewithlindsey.com/projects/blogs
