FRANKENSTEIN (SUMMARY)


The story begins with Captain Robert Walton writing letters to his sister in England. Soon, the desperation of Walton is interrupted by the sighting of  a man in the ice in a sleigh pulled by dogs. The man climbs the ship tells Walton a story.
Victor began as a normal kid in Geneva, and his parents adopted a girl named Elizabeth for both get married when growing. In college, he decided to study philosophy of nature (something like rudimentary physics) and chemistry. In about two years, he discovered how to give life to a body built of human body parts. Then he is horrified to see their own creation, and gets sick for months while his friend, Henry Clerval, helps him recover.
Back in Geneva, Victor's younger brother, William, is assassinated. Frankenstein's maid, Justine, is accused of his death. Victor intuits, as if by magic, his monster is the real murderer, but believing that no one would believe the excuse "It was my monster," and Victor, even afraid to suggest the theory even after poor Justine is executed, continued with the secret for no one to know the existence of his monster.
Victor, heartbroken, makes a trip to the Swiss Alps to relax a little. But he encounters the monster, who confesses  the crime, and Victor heard from the monster he fled when he realized he was alone and it was awful. Nobody accepted (but when one is a made of human parts, what are you going to do) except an old blind. The monster was hoping that the family of the blind villager would show compassion, but even they kicked him out. When he met William, he killed the boy for revenge. In other words, he is furious because his creator created him to be alone and have a bad time, so he asked him to do him a favor: Create a companion.
Victor agrees. Henry leaves henry in Scotland and goes to work to one of the islands in Orkneys. But just before the end, Victor destroys the second monster: He thinks the two monsters will destroy humanity rather than love each other without doing harm. The monster sees him doing it and swears revenge ... again. When Victor arrives at a border between Irish, people accuse him of murdering Henry, who has been found dead. He gets free, but not before getting sick again for a long time.

Victor returns to Geneva and prepares to marry Elizabeth, but is a little worried: the monster swore he would be with him on his wedding night. Victor believes that the monster is threatening, but the night that he and Elizabeth get married, the monster kills the bride. This makes Victor's father die of sadness. Alone and decided to take revenge, Victor pursues the monster every conceivable ground until the ragged and near death. Walton goes inside the boat, and when getting back, he sees a monster crying on Victor´s body, so now the monster was really alone, so the monster goes away.
