How does Shelley characterize Victor, tracing his changes from Chapter 1-10 and what are Victor's conflicts from Chapter 1 -10?

Characterization and conflict are demonstrated in one
passage in chapter ten of Shelley's Frankenstein.  The creature is
confronting Victor and is about to take over as narrator of the novel and tell Victor
his history since his creation.  The creature is pleading with
Victor:

"How
can I move thee?  Will no entreaties cause thee to turn a favourable eye upon thy
creature, who implores thy goodness and compassion?" 
(84)

But Victor shows no
compassion and takes no responsibility.  Before the creature takes over the narrative
but after he implores Victor for compassion, Victor responds to
him:

"Why do
you call to my remembrance," I rejoined, "circumstances of which I shudder to reflect,
that I have been the miserable origin and author?  Cursed be the day, abhorred devil, in
which you first saw light!  Cursed (although I curse myself) be the hands that formed
you!  You have made me wretched beyond expression.  You have left me no power to
consider whether I am just to you or not.  Begone!  Relieve me from the sight of your
detested form."  (85)

Victor
here is revealed to have judged and still to be judging the creature based on his
appearance--he is bigotted and prejudiced, as well as shallow.  He also refuses to take
responsibility for his own actions.  The creature makes a moving plea for goodness and
compassion, but Victor displays none:  characterization is revealed concerning
Victor. 

Victor's conflicts, one might think, would be
internal.  He should be concerned about his role in the creation of the creature and his
current role in the present.  But he isn't.  He decided long
ago. 

Victor's conflict, as revealed in this passage, is
external:  man vs. man, if you need to define it.  From this point on in the novel, the
conflict for Victor becomes personal, and his personal conflict with the creature will
grow until it becomes his obsession.
