I believe he refuses because he's seen the outcome of the first creature and he doesn't want that to happen again. I think that he didn't initially justify his refusal but later when he thinks to himself he comes up with very good reasons why he shouldn't make the second creaure. There will not only by one monster but two. Then these creatures may wish to have children which further spreads the initial problem.
Thomas Victor's refusal is for good reason. He at first refuses to create a female because he can't trust the creation he already has. He believes his creation will still want human acceptance, and become angry when he does not receive it. This anger will lead to more deaths, but this time he will have another creation to help him.
We already knew however, that even if Victor did create him a female companion that the creature goes back on his word of leaving forever to never be seen by man again right from the beginning when Victor is chasing the creature across the ice!!!
Victor initially refuses to make the female because the creature told him about the violence in his story. This makes Victor think that the creature only wants a companion to help him with his destruction instead of actually doing what the creature says it would do. I feel like Victor had a good reason to reject the creatures request initially because the creature had not made the proposals he did later on in the reading about exiling themselves. tori
While pondering his decision to grant the request of the creature to fashion him a companion he observes the creatures horrid appearance and mentions that even with his good intentions(going so far as to promise Victor that he was to depart he and his companion to South America once it was completed) he couldn't get past the creature's outward appearance and feared to make another as grotesque as the creation that stood before him. He also claims that the creature would have a wider scope in which to carry out his revenge against Victor with a companion of equal destructive power. His decision of refusal was at first just in my opinion. Victor was only trying to be cautious denying the creature's request. -Aaron
Victor was probably just worried that it wouldn't go well if he made another creature. He was already regretting making the first one, and then being asked to create another would sound like a terrible idea to him! They have the potential to harm people, even to kill them. Since the creature is already detested by all humans that encounter him, he could be harboring a lot of hatred for the humans due to their lack of acceptance. If the creature had a companion, they could come together in their hate of the humans and kill a lot of people. Victor was thinking in the best interests of all humanity when he denied the request of the creature. -Jade
Of course something must go wrong Mrs. Matysak. I predict that Victor will make the creature a companion. The creature's companion will somehow die. The creature will wreak havoc on Victor's life. Victor will swear revenge which thus leads him to the ice in pursuit of the creature.

Victor doesn't want to make the same mistake twice. He now knows what the creature is capable of and doesn't want to be responsible for a new creature's actions. By making a female creature, he is allowing the creature to be in control. Once Victor makes another creation, what will stop the two creations from causing more violence. He is afraid that they will team up and "desolate the world". Travis Amor
I believe Victor's reasoning is good. Although the creature is sincere in his plight, how can either of them be sure that the next creation won't be a monster from birth. Even if the two creatures disappeared from human sight, if they do reproduce as Victor suspects they will want to, will they be able to control their young? ~BRITTANY ROWE~
I think that its unfair that Victor denied his creation a companion. Victor justifies his choice by saying that it would be unsafe to have two "monsters". Somehow Victor is over looking the fact that it was his neglect that left the creature ignorant to what was right and what was wrong. If Victor would have nutured the creature from the day he created him the creation's potential could be unlimited.The fact that the creation could teach its self to talk proves that it is somewhat intelligent. So now not only has Victor abandoned the creature and denied him the proper care but now he is condemning the "monster" to a life alone.[jacque]
I think that the reason Victor refuses to create another creature is because he's fearful that a second creature will follow in the first's footsteps and murder more hapless victims. Another reason might be that he's fearful of the possible alliance of these two "daemons," and of which fears the havoc they (and their offspring, as Victor suspects they would produce) would wreak upon the world.
Victor refuses to make the female because he is afraid that she might be murderous or it may not work out as planned. Maybe she won't want to be with the male creature or will turn out harmful. Victor is afraid of making a monster because it is unknown how she will turn out, so he is definately justified in his refusal. -Chelsea W
Victor initially refuses to make another creation because he is fearful of what may happen. He thinks that the creature will return to his violent ways in time,but now he will have an assiant. This is a legitimate reason for refusing another creation.
Victor refuses to consent with the monster's request for a bride because of the fear it causes him. Victor fears that he will have the return of the same feelings that consumed him while making the first creature, but he also feared the vengeance of the monster. This is evident when he says, “I feared the vengeance of the disappointed fiend, yet I was unable to overcome my repugnance to the task which was enjoined me” (108). Victor's other fear is the creature not being at peace and quitting interacting with humankind. This is apparent when he says, “How can you, who long for the love and sympathy of man, persevere in this exile? 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” (105-106). Victor's reasons for refusal is supported by the past actions of the monster. The monster has killed William for not obeying him, he has set false evidence on Justine, and has sworn revenge on Victor for the misery that the creature has endured.
