Frankenstein-by Mary Shelley Victor Frankenstein has always been
fascinated by nature. By the time he was in his late teens he was at a
school of science. This school sparked his obsession with recreating
human life. This was not an easy task because of the minuteness of the
organs, etc, which forced him to design an oversized human, about eight
feet tall. After many unhealthy months of labor, he finally achieved his
goal. The hideous creature sat up and grinned at Victor. Victor fled
immediately. When he returned to his chamber he was happy to
not find the monster. Two years passed and he got a letter from his
father telling him his youngest brother, William, had been murdered. He
began his miserable trip back home. On the way home he saw a giant
beast running from a barn. He realized this was his creation and he was
the murderer. An innocent woman (framed by the Monster) and a great
friend of Elizabeth (Victor¹s cousin and future wife), was executed for the
murder. This devastated the family (especially Victor, who accused
himself). He set of to put an end to this creation. Victor finally met up
with his monster in the mountains near a glacier. Here he listened to the
monster¹s story. How he studied and grew to love this family living in a
cottage. He wanted so immensely to be a part of their love and smiles.
He learned their language and how to write (by listening to them teach an
Arabian relative). After a very long time he walked into the cottage when
only the blind old man was there and tried to befriend him. He was very
persuasive until the children and the woman returned. The boy attacked
the Monster. He could have killed the boy, but, out of love, ran. The
family soon moved leaving the Monster so incredibly depressed and
heart-broken that he suddenly hated the human kind. But, most of all, he
hated his creator for making in the first place. He set out to Geneva,
where he know Victor lived. He was almost there when he found a
little boy. He thought he could make friends with him (because of his
young, unprejudiced mind) until he discovered he was the son of his
hated creator. He murdered him, and took the boy¹s locket and put it in
the pocket of the soon-to-be-executed woman sleeping in a barn. At the
conclusion of his story he persuaded Frankenstein to create a female for
him. In the middle of Victor¹s progress of making the female he stopped,
realizing what could happen if he finished, and destroyed his work. This
angered the Monster so greatly that he swore to make Frankenstein the
most miserable person in the world. He murdered Frankenstein¹s best
friend Henry Cerval, and nearly has Frankenstein executed for the
murder. He waited for the wedding night of Victor and Elizabeth and
murdered Elizabeth that night. Victor¹s father was so morbidly depressed
soon died. The only reason Frankenstein didn¹t kill himself was out of the
rage and thirst to get a bitter revenge on this evil creation. He pursued
him up into the north and was, after a very long chase on dog-sleds, was
nearly killed by breaking ice and rescued by a ship. He laid there and
recovered from his sickness enough to tell his entire tale to Robert
Walton. He quickly got very sick and eventually died. That night
Frankenstein¹s monster came to see him in his death-bed. He met
Walton, who hated him very much, and told him of the rage he felt, and
how his objective was nearly over all he has to do now is kill himself. He
would do this by going up to the northern-most part of the globe (where
no one could see him) and set fire to his miserable self. He leapt out of
the boat window onto some ice and disappeared into the darkness.
