The monster is chilling

"If I cannot satisfy one, I will indulge the other."

Not sure whether or not it was in the book AND the movie, but when seeing it in the movie, it sent chills down my spine. It was the ultimatum given to Frankenstein by the monster, about his two desires: companionship or revenge.
Somehow I think Frankenstein should have just sucked it up and made the female monster. I mean really? Did he not see the pattern of death in his loved ones already?
The monster made it pretty clear what was going to happen - at least in the movie. Frankenstein is fully responsible for all the pain that happened to him, and yet he remained silent and did not reach out for much help at all. DESPICABLE HUBRIS IF I EVER DID SEE IT.
