Chapter 5: Victor's Dilema
第5章：维克多的困境
Victor found himself torn between moral responsibility and overwhelming guilt. He recognized his obligation to address the loneliness and suffering he had inflicted upon the creature. Yet, he simultaneously feared the potential catastrophic consequences of creating another living being.
维克多在道德责任和压倒性的内疚之间撕裂。他认识到他对加诸于生物的孤独和痛苦的义务。然而，他同时担心创造另一个生命可能带来的灾难性后果。
The creature's ominous threats of further violence if Victor refused created intense psychological pressure. Victor's internal struggle between compassion and self-preservation became increasingly agonizing, as he contemplated the potential risks of fulfilling the creature's desperate request for companionship.
生物如果维克多拒绝就进行进一步暴力的威胁产生了巨大的心理压力。维克多在同情心和自我保护之间的内心斗争变得越来越痛苦，因为他考虑满足生物对陪伴的绝望请求的潜在风险。
This moral quandary would become one of the central conflicts of Victor's tragic narrative, as he struggled to balance his duty as a creator against his fear of the potential consequences.
这种道德困境将成为维克多悲剧叙事的核心冲突之一，因为他努力平衡他作为创造者的义务与他对潜在后果的恐惧。
