Answer:

In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," Victor explains he did not make his creature happy because he had to protect humanity, which is ironic because, by divising the monster, he challenged God, nature and science, and he also put humankind in danger. Besides, he mentions that the creature destroyed his life because he refused to build a companion for it. However, Victor always put himself first and abandoned the creature, who was good at first but eventually became evil because his creator's carelessness and because his ugly appearance did not fit in society.

In the concluding part of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Victor admitted that he had an obligation to make the creature happy but he could not do this because he also owed it to the world to protect them from wickedness.

Irony is a situation where the opposite of what is expected seems to be the case.

It is ironic that Victor feels pity for the monster he made but at the same time intentionally refuses to solve his problem, because he owed it to the world to protect humans from wickedness.

So, the opposite outcome is the case because while Victor is expected to do something to help the monster, he declines to do that.
