Frankenstein

In chapter 18 What does Victor mean when he talks about “this deadly weight yet hanging round my neck and bowing me to the ground”? How do these words affect the tone at this point in the story?

Victor can never rest while the creature lives. Victor thinks that he has unleashed evil into the world that is killing everyone close to him (Victor). Victor is consumed with anxiety, guilt and hatred over the creature.
