"But now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart."
In this excerpt, Frankenstein is expressing his disgust and horror in his creation. This is dramatic irony because he had such a thirst for knowledge that he spent so long creating the creature. He also wanted to explore and discover. He expected to find beauty in his creation, but it was nothing of the sort. He ends up running away from the giant because he is so terrified. The creature then disappears and does not reappear until much later in the story. Victor worked so hard just to run away from what he thought was his masterpiece. Also, Victor is supposed to be excited for his discovery, but he becomes very ill soon after.
