“Chance—or rather the evil influence, the Angel of Destruction” (31).
Victor is blaming another force for leading him to the teacher that will instill in him a dangerous desire to search for answers. Victor is foreshadowing his eventual demise due to his insatiable curiosity to find ways of "bestowing animation upon lifeless matter" (38). By placing the blame upon someone or something else, Victor does not feel as guilty as one who directly has the responsibility, though he feels remorseful later.
