After the horrible incident I had just witnessed of Frankenstein shredding to pieces the only hope I held, I had to contemplate of a way to have my revenge! As I was departing from his hut, the malicious and devilish idea came to me! He loved many people, just as I would have loved my companion, but he destroyed her before she could even have a chance to a glance of life and a chance to live. So in my vengeance I was to kill all that brought pleasure to his life, and at this point in Scotland, the closest person to him that he loved was Henry Clerval. This should be my next victim! . . . . Oh how easy it was to kill this charming young man. He was so full of life, so adventurous, so delightfully open to the world, and to my advantage so very delicate. I pondered on how I should take away the life of this mere human, and came to the conclusion that I should stick to my most recent ways and strangle him, just as I had the others. I left his body there on the shore of a near town from where Frankenstein inhabited, I hoped that Frankenstein would find his friend, motionless, senseless, spiritless, gone…dead. If I was to live in agony, he was to live it alongside with me.

You have basically inhabited the character of the the monster. The way you describe the environment and the monster's reaction to the hurt he felt when Frankenstein destroyed his future lady, is very probably. You describe his possible reaction greatly.
