Victor was very prideful in his wisdom. He let his ambition take over him and and the end of it all refused to take responsibility for his actions. At the end he recognizes that his pride and ambition only made him unsuccessful.
In Victor's statement, " Man, how ignorant art thou in pride of wisdom" ,means, in my opinion, that people who have too much wisdom or pride of themselves and think of themselves in a higher class, will say something to offend people and make their pride over take their statements. People are ignorant and have too much pride in themselves that they become ignorant in everything they do.
The irony that this qoute represents is the fact that Victor himself was very prideful and ignorant at the same time because due to his ambition he let his idealism get the best of him. No matter how hard he tried he was both prideful due to the lack of responsibilty he had towards his creation.
The irony is that Victor let his pride and ambition over take his judgement. Due to that it led them to create a monster who in the end destroyed him. He wasnt responsible for his creation in the end.
The irony behind this statement is that Victor let his pride get in the way of his creation in inventing the monster. Its irontic that he said this when he did exactly it and neglected the created because he wasnt prepared for what he created.
The irony of Victor's statement is that his pride in his wisdom is what began his downfall. He did not want to take responsibility for his creation. He didn't want to admit that it was possible that his alienation of the creature is what caused the creature to become violent or angry at ALL humans.
This shows that Victor's conversation is ironic because of the conversation they had earlier. While they were conversating before, Victor didn't want to show his emotions for the creature; He didn't want him to see any emotions. Then later, the magistrate makes him vow to kill the monster and that makes Victor angry. Since at first he didn't want to show any emotions, the outcome of the conversation made it ironic.
Well it is ironic because he did just that he was ignorant about his work. His work ran around destroying and reeking havoc and not once did he fix it. The art literally was ignorant anf he never once fixed it even when he had the chance. Victor just didn't want to learn and with all his knowledge he never realized that he was the one to blame.
The irony of "Man, how ignorant art thou in thy pride of wisdom!" in my opinion is that Victor thought that he was so intelligent and his ambition took the best of him which is when he decided to create the creature. He ignored all the consequences that were going to occur and after he created the creature was that he realized the bad things that would happen.
What's so ironic about the quote is that Victor has said that the magistrate is ignorant for taking pride in his wisdom and he himself has taken pride in his knowledge to make the creature that he had abandoned.VIctor says this quote without realizing that he himself was ignorant. Victor at the end of the book pays for his ignorance.(the monster kills his loved ones.)
The irony of Victor towards this statement is that he let his ambition take over. Just because the creature didn't come out how he expected it to doesnt mean that he should abandon him. At the end they both crashed.
