Which line from Frankenstein most clearly indicates that

Victor is deeply torn in his reaction to the Creature’s request for a

companion?

• His tale and the feelings he now expressed proved him to be a creature

  of fine sensations, and did I not as his maker owe him all the portion of

  happiness that it was in my power to bestow?

• You will return and again seek their kindness, and you will meet with

  their detestation; your evil passions will be renewed, and you will then

  have a companion to aid you in the task of destruction.

• I compassionated him and sometimes felt a wish to console him, but

  when I looked upon him, when I saw the filthy mass that moved and

  talked, my heart sickened and my feelings were altered to those of

  horror and hatred.

• Turning to him, therefore, I said, “I consent to your demand, on your

  solemn oath to quit Europe forever, and every other place in the

  neighborhood of man, as soon as I shall deliver into your hands a female

  who will accompany you in your exile.”
