    FRANKENSTEIN BY MARY WALLSTONECRAFT SHELLEY

    Chapters 1–2: Victor’s family adopt a young girl called Elizabeth and they move to Geneva. Two more
    sons
    are born, Ernest, the oldest and later William. Victor makes friends with a boy called Henry Clerval.
    Victor is very interested in electricity and chemistry and goes to Ingoldstadt University to study. He
    becomes obsessed with creating life and puts together a human form from parts of dead bodies. The
    monster comes to life. It opens its eyes and makes sounds. This distresses Victor and he falls very ill. His
    friend, Henry, nurses him back to health.

    Chapters 3–4: Victor receives a letter telling him his brother, William, has been murdered. He is very sad
    and travels to Geneva. On the way, he briefly sees the monster in a forest. Justine Moritz, a servant to the
    Frankenstein family, is arrested and executed for the murder. Victor is terribly unhappy because he knows
    who the real murderer is. He travels to the mountains where he meets the monster again. He threatens to
    destroy the monster. The monster replies that Victor is responsible for everything because he created him
    and now his life is miserable because people are unkind.

    Chapters 5–6: The monster tells Victor his story. After leaving the laboratory, he lived in a small hut next
    to the de Lacey’s house. The monster watched the family and secretly helped them by collecting wood.
    But one day, the children saw the monster with their blind father and they screamed and attacked him.
    They left their house in fear. The monster was lonely, unhappy and he wanted revenge. He burned the de
    Lacey’s house down and went to look for Victor. Instead, he found his brother, William, and killed him.
    The monster now wants a female companion and Victor agrees to create one.

    Chapters 7–8: Victor tells his father that he wants to marry Elizabeth but first he must travel and study.
    His friend, Henry, joins him and they travel to London. Victor learns a lot from the scientists there and
    collects the things he needs for the female monster. He then goes
    on his own to the north of Scotland. One night, as the monster looks in through the window, Victor
    destroys the female. The monster is very angry and threatens revenge. Victor takes a boat. He falls asleep
    and arrives in Ireland. There, someone tells him that a dead body has been found and Victor is arrested for
    murder.

    Chapters 9–10: Victor is taken to see Mr Kirwin, the local judge and he discovers that the dead man is his
    friend, Henry Clerval. Victor is very distressed and spends the next two months very ill in prison. His
    father goes to

    see him and a month later Victor is found not guilty of Henry’s murder. Father and son start the journey
    back to Switzerland but stop to rest in Paris. A letter from Elizabeth arrives. She tells Victor that she loves
    him and wants to marry him. Victor decides they must marry very soon before the monster takes his
    revenge.

    Chapters 11–12: Victor and Elizabeth get married


    and start their holiday in a hotel. That night Elizabeth is murdered in her room. Victor sees the monster
    through an open window and chases him. The monster escapes. Victor follows the monster to the North
    Pole. He becomes very ill and is rescued by Walton, the captain of a boat. As he lies dying, he tells
    Walton his story and asks him to promise to destroy the monster when he is dead. Victor dies. The
    monster approaches the lifeless Victor and begs forgiveness. When he realises Victor is dead, the monster
    decides that he must die too and jumps into the water and disappears.
