Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a tale of a man-made monster. Victor Frankenstein is an amateur scientist who creates a "perfect" human from spare body parts. Нe decides to take revenge on the person who created him. First the monster kills his brother. Frankenstein is ravaged by his grief and guilt for creating the monster so he goes to the mountains alone to find peace. But the monster demands that he create a female monster to be his companion. Frankenstein agrees and goes to England to do his work. When he is almost finished, he changes his mind, and destroys the project. The monster then kills his friend and later his new wife Elizabeth. Victor chases after him throughout Europe and the North Pole, but then temporarily loses track of the monster when he disappears into a crack in the ice. At this time he meets Robert Walton and his crew. The story ends with Victor's death and the monster crying for forgiveness. After a short contemplation by Robert Walton, who promised to kill him if offered the chance, the monster disappears back to the North Pole never to be seen again.
