It's like Victor when he feels self-pity for creating this monstrosity that killed his friends and family. This quote also shows his desire to destroy his creation and how it is decaying him like a piece of dead meat from the inside. The reader can notice this right after he creates his monster and also after the monster kills all of Victor's friends and family. After Victor creates the monster, he is in a state of denial where he judges what he has done as being beyond the laws of nature. Victor tends to be like a bipolar person in that he moves toward a goal and then stays depressed for days on end. The reader may begin to feel pity for Frankenstein, however Frankenstein asked for it because he chose to create something beyond the natural way of things. This is why people should use each other, especially when it comes to scientific experiments, because others cannot stop you from doing something that is ethically and morally correct.
