Main Characters

HISTORY

At the age of 13 Frankenstein began to interest in the spark of life and theories of how human life was created.

He said that for him, the world was a secret that he had to unmask. The sensations of curiosity for the hidden laws and the mysteries of life are of the first sensations that he remembers.

Frankenstein was absorbed in these studies until one day he saw a ray undoing a tree, which led him to study the theories of electricity and galvanization.

When Frankenstein turned 17, he was to leave for Ingolstadt to continue his studies. At the same time, Elizabeth contracted scarlet fever.

Carolina fell ill while caring for Elizabeth, long after mourning the death of her mother Frankenstein left for Ingoltadt to resume his studies where he had the fear of feeling alone or not having anyone,

This feeling faded after Frankenstein met M. Waldman who encouraged him to continue his studies on the spark of life.

Frankenstein continued his studies on the scourge of life until one day he discovered the essence of life, a secret he refused to share with Walton so that he would not follow his "poor example"

Discovering that is what gives life Frankesntein was dedicated to creating a human being, a man of 2.5m in height with superhuman strength and endurance of pieces he took of bodies. All this I work in secret and while I worked on his project correspondence with his family unemployed, his health began to deteriorate for all the time he dedicated to his creation but he did not stop until he saw his project finished

At last one autumn night Frankenstein gave life to his creation, but his illusions of greatness were quickly disappearing at the horrifying beast. He had chosen pieces that he thought perfect and beautiful but the result of the whole was something horrendous and creepy.

Frankenstein told his friend Henry about the beast he had created and went to town for a few days when he thought he had already forgotten his creation and Henry returned home and realized that the beast was not.

Frankenstein got sick of the impression and Henry stayed with him to take care of him in his illness, when Frankenstein began to recover Henry gave him a letter from Elizabeth.

Elizabeth wrote him a letter in which he begged Frankenstein for a letter from him in person to tell his family that he was well, knowing this he wrote a letter to his family assuring them that he was well and that his health had improved .

After this Frankenstein introduced Henry to several professors in college since he was going to study there, but he always tried to avoid talking about his studies because they reminded him of the spawn that he had created.

El hermano de Frankenstein William había sido asesinado cuando la familia caminaba por el bosque, William desapareció, cuando lo encontraron había sido estrangulado.

Elizabeth se encontraba preocupada dado a que le había prestado un collar que perteneció a su madre y cuando encontraron a William este había desaparecido lo que los llevo a pensar que este había sido la causa del ataque.

Frankenstein decided to go to the place where they had killed William, and watched a storm approaching the mountains as the fury of the storm passed the light of lightning revealed an object in front of him, his huge stature, the deformity of his appearance I let him know That it was the monster he had given life to and that this thing was William's killer.

Frankenstein could not tell anyone that the monster had killed William because no one would believe him and even if they believed him, no one would be able to catch the monster.

The necklace appeared in the dress of Justine an employee very close to the family of Frank, shortly after the trial Justine could explain everything happened except the necklace, Frankenstein knew that the monster had put it in his dress to incriminate her death By William.

Elizabeth assured Justine of innocence and asked the jury to declare her innocent as well as Frank, but this was not enough. Justine was found guilty and executed, Frankenstein now knew that there were two deaths in his consciousness but he did not know how he could solve it.

One day walking on the mountain Frank met the monster who told him to listen to him but would kill his whole family.

The monster told Frankentein how his senses began to develop after he awoke in the laboratory, how he could not tell the 5 senses nor between light and darkness when he blinked, just like a newborn. When the scape of the laboratory prowled through the forest living on fences and nuts until one day he found the fire that a man had left, that day he discovered the usefulness and danger of fire although how to create it eluded him.

Over time the monster continued to watch the Lacey family and began to notice that they were sad, he deduced that this was due to their poverty but also noticed that the smaller Felix was the saddest but reason eluded him.

He began to shovel the snow and cut wood at night so that they had more time to work in the garden or to do other tasks, the family considered this the act of a good spirit. Hearing them, the monster learned some words.

The monster wanted to learn to communicate so that he could talk to the De Lacey's family and that they did not hate him or dread him for his horrendous appearance which he discovered one day when he looked at the reflection of a stream, he hoped that by talking to them he could earn his affection .

With time spring came to the monster and the house of the De Lacey, however Happy seemed sadder than ever, until one day came a brunette woman who did not speak the same language as them, Feliz was in love with her and she Happy.

The family welcomed her with open arms and taught her to speak French, the monster learned along with her and began to understand their conversations and the readings of stories, but in all those stories she never heard of someone like that which brought questions to him Monster, how it was created or where it came from, these questions made the monster feel even more alone.

Already with the ability to speak and read the monster he understood the stories of Lacey's family and even showed letters to Frankenstein as proof, they were a wealthy Parisian family until one day Felix heard of unjust imprisonment of Muhammadan

Felix decided to release the man condemned by his religion and this is how he met and fell in love with Safie. Muhammadan unsure of Felix's loyalty promised him his daughter's hand, yet he had other plans actually.

When the French government discovered the connection of the De Lacey, they were exiled to Germany, with this Muhammand told Safie to forget about Felix and returned to Turkey, Safie instead of waiting in Italy decided to travel to Germany with Felix instead To return to Turkey.

Shortly after discovering the history of the family De Lacey Frankenstein found the diary of Dr. Frankenstein in a pocket of one of the raincoats he had stolen from the laboratory to escape, reading it was horrified by his origins and began to feel even more alone.

It was then that he decided to seek the company of the De Lacey and I waited until the father who was blind was alone and approached to talk to him. He was kind to him but the monster did not express the desire of his company until the others were already at the door, by then Safie had fainted and Felix had chased him away from the house.

Passing this the vagrant monster through the woods cursing and screaming in anger for his miserable life and in that moment decided to declare the war against the humanity and of its creator Frankenstein that had made it so horrible and unpleasant,

It was then that he set out on his way to Geneva where the landscape calmed him a bit until, when he tried to save a girl from a river, he was shot. That wound was what finally made the monster hate everyone.

Later on his way to Geneva he found a small child, he believed that the child could not hate him and tried to kidnap him but he resisted and shouted for his father Alphonse Frankenstein, realizing the relationship of the child with Frankenstein murdered him and took the Necklace that he thought was very beautiful, he fled to a nearby barn where he found Justine sleeping.

It was there that she put the necklace on Justine's dress so that she was guilty of her crime.

Having told his story the monster made his claim, saying that only someone as horrible as he could have wanted to sue Frankenstein to create this fellow.

With what Frankenstein happened it is put to analyze if it was better to create the monster, since this was the displeasure of the people, then the monster I assure you that he acted that way because he was alone and the only thing he wanted was to have a company.

Frankenstein is where he proposes to make a woman to him to be together, so they reached an agreement, the pope Frankestein finds out about this and asks him to marry immediately with Elizabeth but this tells him that he must undertake a journey To England to finish with the woman monster and that in the end would marry the woman that he loved.

While Frankenstein built the monster, doubts came to his head from the consequences that could create a woman monster, then decided not to do it, the monster came to Frankenstein department threatening that if not to the woman he would get revenge and that would be in his wedding.

Nights later Frankenstein sees the silhouette of the monster escaping since in the floor was strangled Elizabeth, is there where Frankenstein swears revenge and chase to the monster until killing it.

FAVORITE PART

My favorite part was when the monster learned a different language to not feel alone, I even learned French to understand all the stories they told, but still he did not stop feeling lonely since his appearance was horrendous and nobody wanted to be close to he.

PERSONAL CONCLUSION

I think that this book goes beyond talking about monster, it refers to the personality of oneself, if you have an ugly personality nobody will want to be with you, and even if you have an ugly attitude and you have an equal partner you could create people Similar, so the important thing is to have a good attitude, to be positive, happy that it will infect others who will be around you.
