Slavery Connection

When the creature notices that Victor has stopped working on a female version of himself. The creature confronts Victor and says, "Slave, I before reasoned with you, but you have proved yourself unworthy of my condescension. Remember that I have power,.. I am your master;---obey!" (Shelley, 140) This can relate to how the British Empire participated in the Atlantic Slave Trade. They used their powers to control and decieve unknowing people. If the slaves didn't do what they were told they were most likely killed or punished harshly. Something that Victor will soon experience when his wife is murdered by the creature.
