Frankenstein- Summary

The story begins with Capitan Robert on a boat stuck in ice in the north Pole. With nothing else to do, he writes letters to his sister back in England. In his letter he explains how they had a sick passenger, a man they had found on the ice. This passenger is Viktor Frankenstein.
Victor explains his story to the Capitan.

Victor was born in Geneva and lived with his parents, his younguer brother William and his adopted sister Elizabeth. From a small child he was insterested in a science and what makes us live. He studies took a new direction when he became obsessed with bringing the dead back to life. He spent the next two years collecting body parts and creating a body to see if his idea worked. His experiment worked. Victor created The Monster. However he was frightened of the Monster and deserted it alone in the laboraty.

The next day he returned to the laboratory and the Monster was not there. For some months after this he was ill and his friend Herny Clerval helped him recuperate.

Back in Geneva, Victor's young brother, William, was murdered. The Frankenstein family servant, Justine, was accused of killing and executed. Victor knew that his monster was the real killer, but he did not say anything because he thought no one would belive him.

Victor went on a trip to the Swiss Alps and there he met his Monster. The Monster explained his story to his creator Victor.

When Frankenstein ran away, he found himself alone and ugly. No one accepted him, except for one blind man. However when the blind man's family saw the Monster, they attacked him and made him go away. He killed William because he was jealous- Victor loved his brother but not his creation. 
The Monster told Victor that he must create a female monster,a friend for him. After much persuading, Victor agreed. He went to an island in the Orkeneys to work. But, just before he finished his second creation, he destroyed the female monster: he was afraid that two would bring destruction to humanity rather than love each other harmlessly. The monster saw him do this and swore revenge... again. When Victor went to visit his friend Henry, Henry was dead, murdered and the people acused Victor of murdering him. Finally he proved he was innocent.

Victor returned to Geneva and prepared to marry Elizabeth, but was worried that the Monster would do something to him on his wedding day. The monster did not hurt Victor, he killed Elizabeth instead. Victor's father died from the shock of what has happened. Victor had lost his father, brother, wife and best friend.

Victor was very angry and chased the monster through the North Pole. It was at this point that Captain Walton found Victor. Victor died after telling his story. Captain Walton found the Monster next to Victor's body crying. The Monster jumped off the ship and ran into the Artic to dice...alone.

Personal Opinion: 
I think Frankenstain is an awsome book because it show the humans's cruelty; we judge everything and everybody without empathy. 
My favorite part in the book is when The Monster learn with the Family and in that part is when he undertand why the people run away when they see him. 
And the worst part is when Frankenstain run away when he see what he made, he just show us that he is a coward who can't confront his problems.

In Conclusion: I like this book because It show us the reality of the humans's behavior.
