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.
