How Did Frankenstein Not Predict Elizabeth's Death?

     After Frankenstein leaves his home, he learns from his professors about science and eventually his curiosity becomes so great that his they can't help him anymore. Frankenstein continues to fuel his curiosity for science by furthering his knowledge by himself and he ends up creating life, proving his brilliance. However, somehow Frankenstein is still not able to find out that Elizabeth was going to be murdered by his monster. His monster promises Frankenstein that the creature will be there for Frankenstein's wedding day. For months, Frankenstein believes that the creature will try to murder him and doesn't consider any other options. When the day finally arrives, Frankenstein obliviously leaves Elizabeth alone and the creature kills her. It is very intriguing that an intelligent man like Frankenstein was not able to predict this. All the creature wanted to do, after Frankenstein ruins the creation of his female companion, is to make Frankenstein's life miserable. If the creature was just going to kill Frankenstein, Frankenstein wouldn't be able to feel sadness the creature feels. By murdering Elizabeth, the creature does exactly what Frankenstein did to the creature. He is able to make Frankenstein overcome with anguish just like how the creature felt when Frankenstein took away the creature's chance for love. The fact that a man like Frankenstein wasn't able to figure this out is very perplexing. The creature even murders Frankenstein's good friend before to make Frankenstein guilty and to lose a companionship. The creature's goal to make Frankenstein experience the same pain that Frankenstein placed on the creature seems very obvious and the I find it very interesting on how an ingenious man like Frankenstein couldn't uncover this.
