FRANKENSTEIN'S STORY (Told to Walton by Victor):

He tells Walton of his early life spent with Henry and Elizabeth in Geneva. He then describes his going away to the University of Ingolstadt, where he studies chemistry and natural philosophy. It is here he believes he discovers the secret to life.

Victor spends months creating a creature using body parts he gets from graveyards, and then brings it to life one night in his apartment. He goes into his room and falls asleep, but his sleep is filled with nightmares combined with the image of the hideous monster looming over him. The creature is so horrifying, that he awakes in a panic, and flees his apartment in an insane fever. As he is wandering, he runs into his friend Henry, who has come to study at Ingolstadt. Henry gets Victor back to his apartment, where the monster is no where to be found, and falls ill.

As Victor prepares to return to his home in Geneva to see his family and heal, he receives a letter from his father stating that his youngest brother William has been killed. He rushes home. He catches a glimpse of the monster as he walks through the forest where his brother is killed, and is then convinced that the monster did it.

Justine is tried and convicted despite her pleas of innocence; she is then executed. Victor feels infinitely guilty and responsible for the death of both William, and Justine

To try and ease his immense grief, Victor heads to the mountains. He runs into the monster who then tells his story.
