Elizabeth

Victor seems to have a strange relationship with Elizabeth. He is so incredibly protective of her and takes it upon himself to be responsible for her. It can almost be identified as his own way of working through his Oedipal issues. Since he met her at a young age, he was still in the phase of feeling such loyalty to his mother. When this new woman enters his life, he takes the roll of the husband and treats her like his wife. He absolutely treasures her. He may not feel the physical and sexual feelings like his parents surely do but all he sees is that his father is the number one man in his mothers life and he assumes that roll in Elizabeth's life.
