He became mentally sick and did not know the whereabouts of the monster. One day Victor received a letter which informed him that his little brother had been killed. A maid that was a close friend of the family was accused of the murder. Victor knew that the monster had killed his brother. However, the maid was found guilty and hung. Victor felt responsible for both deaths and climbed high into the Jura Mountains behind his house, only to find the monster. The monster told Victor that he had learned to read and talk by watching a poor family. The monster demanded that Victor make him a companion; he promised to leave and never be seen again if it was made. Victor decided to make a trip to Scotland, but was forced to bring his friend, Henry Clevral. As he worked on the project he decided not to make the companion. Soon after, Victor found Henry Clevral dead. Victor decided to marry Elizabeth, his love since childhood. On the night of the wedding, Elizabeth was killed by the monster.
The monster was an important character throughout the novel. The monster remains dunnamed throughout the novel. He had yellow skin and black hair. His teeth were white and he had black lips. His eyes were a dull yellow color and were sunk deeply into his head: His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes that almost seemed the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips. The monster was tall and strong. He was created by Victor Frankenstein and was a victim of misunderstanding. Mary Shelley wrote the novel Frankenstein in a British dialect. She used verbose phases throughout the story. Some of these phrases were superfluous: Besides, in drawing of my early days, I also record those events which led, by insensible steps, to my after tale of misery: for when I would account to myself for the birth of that passion which afterwards ruled my destiny, I find it arise, like a mountain river, from ignoble and almost forgotten sources; but, swelling as it proceeded, it became the torrent which, in its course, has swept away all my hopes and joys. A possible theme of the novel Frankenstein is acceptance. The monster was not acceptedinto society because of his appearance. Even though the monster was calm and gentle thepeople rejected him and attempted to destroy him. Since he was not accepted by society hecommitted a series of murders in search for his creator Victor Frankenstein. The peopleshould not have made judgement based on his appearance, but on the moral content of hischaracter. Frankenstein is one of the greatest horror stories of all time. A great part of the storywas a flashback of Victor's life. A flashback is when a story is interrupted to portray a pastevent. The irony of the novel is that Victor Frankenstein greatest scientific achievement,which turned out to be a monstrosity, evolved into his arch nemesis.
