Well this is a depressing end. Victor spends the last month or so of his life seeking revenge. Victor chases the creature all over the place. The whole intent of Victor's pursuit was to defeat the creature. Victor even goes to the length of asking Walton to kill the creature if he is unable to. I am not sure if Victor's speech to Walton's men was to convince them to advance for his own sake or whether he just wanted to give them deep advice before he passes. The points he makes are valid and Walton even agrees that all he was thinking was continuing forward. A parallel is created between Walton and Victor when Walton feels guilty for the death of men in his crew because of his scientific desire to reach the pole. This is similar to how Victor felt guilty for the deaths of people from the creature he created during his scientific pursuit.
The creature's appearance at the end creates more sympathy for the creature. All the creature has seen in sadness and upon seeing his creator die, he has nothing left to live for although his intentions towards his creator were evil. The creature is similar to Victor as well. The creature agrees that he should be destroyed and his remains destroyed so that no one can know that he existed. The creature does not want another creature to be created to suffer just as he has.
