Summary Of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

His fear inducing appearance adds to his state of isolation, so much so that even his own creator “found himself filled with horror and fear at the hideous thing he created.”(Nardo 51). His abruptly ended friendship with the blind man only worsens his painful desolation since he now understands what a true friendship is like. The monster longs for a companion and begs to Victor “You must create a female for me with whom I can live” (Shelley 144) and pleads with him for a mate of the opposite sex. When this demand is not met, the monster fills with rage toward Victor, and he vows revenge upon

When the monster is betrayed by Victor the only thing that comforts his hurting is the thought and idea of revenge. The monster goes after Victor's brother, little William. When Victor finds out about his loss, he knows it was the monster which had made him feel devastated about what has occurred. This broke Victor emotionally because the relationship he had with his brother was robust. Victor cared about his brother more than his owned wife Elizabeth. The mindest the monster had was knowledgeably because of the way he knew taking the closest person away from Victor will harm him the most.

Victor became so worried that it caused him to come down with a sickness. Once he was better, he had to go home because his youngest brother was murdered. As soon as he returned home, he knew that it was the monster that did it. However, a close friend of his family was charged and killed for the crime. Victor felt guilty about this. The monster demanded a companion but Victor could not bring himself to make this mistake which angered the monster and he wanted revenge. Victor was now more terrified than ever. He did not know what to do. He tried to find the monster but in the process, the monster murdered his very close friend and he was almost charged with the murder. On the eve of his marriage to his cousin, Victor knew that the monster would show up and harm him. Little did he know that the monster would kill his love. After his father died, Victor had almost no one left. He vowed to spend the rest of his life to find the monster and put an end to his misery. He was unsuccessful and died. He meant well by making the monster, but in the end, it was nothing but a huge problem. He was not good for anything and he ruined Victor’s life.

But he when the creature killed William that changed Victor opinion about the creature and wanted revenge. But then the Creature told victor you make me a creature so i won't be lonely and i'll leave you and your family alone. Then victor agreed but then behind the creature back and tore up the second creature and threw her body parts in the river. And woke up in Ireland and victor was accused

Victor goes to England to create the monster’s mate, taking Henry with him. When he is almost done making his second creation, the monster comes to claim her only to find Victor destroying it. The monster vows to take revenge on Victor’s wedding night and goes and immediately kills Henry. Victor is accused and eventually acquitted and returns home where he married Elizabeth, who the monster kills on their wedding night. Victor begins following the monster to get his revenge and had chased him to the North Pole where Walton finds him. He dies while on Walton’s ship and the monster feels responsible for his death. The monster vows to kill himself and then disappears onto the ice.

He was a robust and sustainable kid during his schooling, but once he created his monster, it was all down-hill. He spent days, even years without contact to the outside world and stayed isolated from his family. When Henry came to his assistance the first time, Victor gradually became better and started to write letters back to his family. His father then wrote to him and said that Victor’s brother, William, was murdered. Again, Victor entered a state of depression and anger.

Victor Frankenstein is unquestionably the protagonist of Mary Shelley's novel whose title features his last name, Frankenstein. Yet whether or not Victor is truly a tragic hero is open for debate. Some have suggested that the Creature is more convincing as a tragic figure because of the insights about himself and his actions that he expresses to Captain Walton after Victor's death. Nevertheless it is the growth of Victor as a hero that we shall trace in the course of the novel's plot, a story narrated by Captain Walton based on his interview with Victor on board ship as they head toward the North Pole.

Victor, after being convinced to create a female companion for the monster, realizes that this will only create double the amount of destruction, he then makes the choice to discontinue his project to prevent more devastation. Instead of less damage resulting from this choice it only brings more harm to his life and everyone around him. First, his good friend Henry Clerval is murdered by the beast and Victor is accused of this murder, “The human frame could no longer support the agonies that I endured, and I was carried out of the room in strong convulsions.” (Shelley 129). This was Victor’s reaction upon seeing Henry’s corpse and demonstrates how deeply his pursuit for knowledge affects him. Even though he is later released on circumstantial evidence, he will be scarred for life knowing that he responsible for yet another death. Given that Victor destroyed the monster’s only hope of having someone else like him in the world; the monster swears revenge and that he will return on Victor’s wedding night. Victor misinterpreted this warning and instead of the monster attacking Victor, his creation attacked and

At first Victor was very adamant on not making a mate for the monster, but the monster said that if Victor makes him a mate he would quit hunting Victor. This sounded good to Victor, as he wanted peace from the monster and the guilt Victor felt about making the monster. Victor began the process of the monster’s mate when he suddenly realized the possibility of the monster’s ability of beginning a race of monsters with the mate. Victor decided to destroy the female monster by dumping her body in the ocean. “Had I right, for my own benefit, to inflict this curse upon everlasting generations? I had before been moved by the sophisms of the being I had created; I had been struck senseless by his fiendish treats: but now, for the first time, the wickedness of my promise burst upon me; I shuddered to think that future ages might curse me as their pest, whose selfishness had not hesitated to buy its own peace at the price, perhaps, of the existence of the whole human race”. This infuriates the monster and he begins to destroy Victor’s life.

The novel Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley starts off with a man named Robert Walton who meets Victor Frankenstein. Robert retells Victor’s story to his sister in a series of letters. Victor Frankenstein is an alchemist who creates a monster out of human body parts. Victor then goes through many events that put his loved ones in danger because of his creations. In the story, Mary Shelley hints many types of themes.

“I thought of returning to my friends and my native town. “said by Victor, but he eventually left his family for completing the experiment of making the monster. He thinks:“ I(Victor himself) was yet engaged in my laboratory”.(chapter 4) But after bringing the monster to live, he heard the news:“ William is dead! -- that sweet child, whose smiles delighted and warmed my heart, who was so gentle, yet so gay! Victor, he is murdered!”(chapter7).

The monster appeared to Victor while he was grieving and demanded that he create a female version of himself so he would have a companion. If Victor did not comply with his horrible creation, the monster threatened to kill his family and friends. Victor reluctantly agreed to his ultimatum. His friend, Harvey, unknowing of the plan accompanied him on his trip back to the university to gather his equipment. Victor went to a sparsely inhabited island where he could work without being disturbed. After replicating a female version of the monster, Victor ended up destroying it. The monster witnessed this and became enraged and left. Upon returning the monster asked Victor if he was going to fulfill his promise. Victor said he would not make another demon such as himself. He told Victor he had been warned and there would be consequences. “I will be with you on your wedding-night” (pg. 123). As Victor was returning to the mainland, he discovered that his friend Harvey had been murdered, and he knew the culprit had to be the monster. Being wrongfully accused of his friend 's

Sometime after Justine’s execution is the next time that Victor encounters the Monster and now it has learned how to speak and function with no help from his creator. During this encounter the monster demands a mate and reluctantly Victor obliges. He then isolates himself as he did before and begins construction on this female monster but, Victor’s destructive impulses and sudden realization of what could transpire with these two abominations, sets the stage for the final blows that the monster will unleash on Victor’s loved ones.

     The monster is created towards the beginning of the story as a middle-aged creature. He may be characterized as manipulating, and intelligent, and from kind by nature to malevolent. He is a round character, is described as being eight feet tall, and simply hideous. The monster kills Victor?s younger brother, friends, and lover, and does not stop until Victor himself is ruined and killed. He may easily be considered Victor?s downfall. The monster is never named, so he is referred to as his description, a monster or a daemon. He wants, more than anything, a companion. The monster tells Victor, ?You are my creator, but I am your master? (116) after his heart turns cold from lack of love.
