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.
