A Proposal: unconditional, deep, divine love is terrifying. When someone really deeply loves you, instinct is to push them away so they can't hurt you: as in Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I'm not sure I agree with this, in fact I often find it comforting and desirable to have someone who cares about you completely. Then again, maybe I can't relate, because I have never had someone entirely obsessed with me.
During Victor's dream on night of monster's creation, he dreams of Elizabeth turning into his mother's corpse in his arms. This suggests that he is trying to overcome the death of his mother, or possibly of Elizabeth's future death, however near or far that is. It's as if he wants to prevent a possibility of a world without her.
Victor compares himself to Satan: most suffering of all. Elizabeth wished to die with J...it sounds like she was also suffering pretty bad (probably worse).
