Now that you have heard the creature’s story, do you think he is justified in declaring an “ever-lasting war” against the human species and his creator? Is he justified in asking for Victor to create a mate for him?

After hearing the creature's story, I do believe he is justified in declaring an "ever-lasting war" against the human species and his creator. The monster is seen as a villain of society when in reality, he is just misunderstood. Because he is judged only due to his horrible looks, the creature has never truly experienced any sort of love or support throughout his life, and as someone without a family to teach him the right and wrongs, he does not learn to control his feelings in a civilized way. From the start, society corrupted the monster and he never had a support system, family, or even a friend to talk to. The creature is justified in asking Victor to create a mate for him as he just wants someone similar to him with whom he can travel the world for. After observing the family living in the cottage, the monster just wants to be as happy as them when they spend time together.
