"I shall be with you on your wedding-night." (pg. 123)
The above quote was repeated many times in the last half of the novel. The repetition was used to emphasize the importance of the phrase. The creature said this to Victor when Victor destroyed the female creature he was creating. Victor understood this statement to mean that the creature was going to kill him on his wedding night. However, the creature meant he wasgoing to kill Elizabeth because if he had to be lonely, he was going to force Victor to be lonely too. But Victor wastoo self-absorbed to realize this and Elizabeth was killed on their wedding night.
