Victor devotes all his time to building his female monster. He has gone mad with anxiety and fear that he won’t finish it fast enough for the monster’s tastes.
Q. Why does Victor not want to make the female creature?
Victor tells us that the reason he must destroy the female monster is because he does not want the “future ages” to “curse [him] as their pest” (174). He doesn’t want his own “selfishness” of creating a companion for his first mistake to end up disturbing the peace of future generations.

Q. What was the Twins peculiarity?
Peculiarity. Not too much is known about their peculiarity, but in the movie they were capable of turning a Wight into stone with just a glare, similar to Medusa in Greek Mythology. It was believed in the book they had a telepathic bond.
Q. What is a hollow in Miss Peregrine?
Hollowgast. A word meaning “empty spirit”. The hollowgast are monsters who feed on peculiars. They were created by a freak-accident in an unethical and illegal experiment conducted by Miss Peregrine’s two brothers.
Q. Why does Grandpa Portman let himself grow old?
He let himself grow old. Miss Peregrine says this in sadness after Jacob tells her what happened to Grandpa Portman. The entire purpose of the loop is to keep these children young indefinitely, but Grandpa Portman chose to leave this pleasant youth behind and face the real world instead.23
Q. Who visits Jacob in the middle of the night?
Oggie says there was one survivor that day: Jacob’s grandfather. After chatting with dad at the bar, Jacob tries to go to sleep, but he can’t stop wondering if this Miss Peregrine character was Grandpa’s “other woman” (4.138).
Q. What an unchallenging life it would be if we always got things right on the first go?

Q. What happens in Miss Peregrine?
Jacob and his new peculiar friends give chase, kill Golan and the hollowgast, and rescue Miss Peregrine. Miss Avocet is taken away, and Miss Peregrine is stuck in bird form. Because she can’t change back, the time loop collapses, the bomb falls, and the home is destroyed.
