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
