FRANKENSTEIN BY MARY SHELLEY

Chapter 1

Captain Waltson sees from his ship two sledges. He could see the driver of the first
sledge, a huge figure, much bigger than a man. The second sledge chased the first
sledge and was driving by a normal man. When night came, there was a storm. In the
morning, the sailors saw that great pieces of ice were floating round the ship. On one of
them there was a man and near him was a broken sledge. This man was Victor
Frankenstein. Here is Victor Frankenstein’s story.

Chapters 2-3

He was born in Switzerland, in the town of Geneva. When he was a child he was very
happy. With him, also his parents, lived Elizabeth and his brothers, Ernest and Williams.
Also, Victor had a good friend named Henry Cleveral. Victor studied very hard at
school because he wanted to know the secrets of life. He read a lot of books and wanted
to know how to make living things. During a wild storm he discovered the power of the
electricity.
For seventeen years Victor was happy, but the first sad thing happened: his mother
became very ill and died. Later, he was at the university and he realized that he could
learn to be a very good scientist. Victor studied a lot to put life into dead things.
Suddenly, he was sure that he knew the secret of life. With help of his professors, he
built a laboratory.

Chapters 4-5

Victor made a man with some pieces of human bodies. The creature was two and half
metres tall. Victor joined this creature to the wires from a machine and more wires
joined the machine to the mast. He used the electricity to give life to the body when a
storm was coming. Suddenly, a huge man began to move and came alive. At this
moment Victor was afraid. Later, Victor found his friend, Henry Cleveral, and was very
ill.
Victor received a letter of his father which said that his brother, William, was dead.
William was murdered. Victor went to Geneva and discovered that the murderer had
been his creature.

Chapters 6-7-8-9

The police arrested Justine, a young woman that was like a sister to Victor. The police
thought that she was the murderer because they found a gold chain at Justine house that
belonged to William. Victor knew the truth but he can’t tell it.
Suddenly, Victor saw his strange creature and this huge man started telling his story.
The monster had a lot of problems with other people. People was afraid him. He hid in
a hut and learnt to speak with a poor family, until they discovered him and tried kill him
with a stick. The monster felt alone and unhappiness and decided to travel to Geneva to
find his creator. In his trip he had a bad experience when he tried to save a girl in a river,
he received a bullet in the arm. Every day he hated more his creator. The monster killed
William and put the gold chain into one of Justine’s pockets.
Chapters 10-11-12-13-14-15

The monster thought that he was alone and miserable. The monster wanted to have a
wife and he asked it Victor. Victor answered that would do it. Frankenstein went to
Scotland and he built a new laboratory to create a new creature.
Suddenly, Victor was afraid. Perhaps the two monsters would hate each other and
would kill without end. Victor took a sharp knife and cut through the body that he had
joined so carefully. The monster said him: I shall be with you on your wedding night.
Later, Victor got married Elizabeth.
After the wedding they went to a hotel on the other side of the lake. While Victor
searched every corner of the hotel, the monster killed Elizabeth with his hands. Victor
left the hotel and returned to Geneva as fast as he could because he thought that the
monster could kill his father. His father was alive, although he died soon. Victor entered
a dangerous world of dreams and madness.
Later, Victor decided to leave Geneva for ever. Victor chased the monster through the
world. He wanted to kill him. Victor died and the monster decided to commit suicide.
