At university, Victor Frankenstein excels at chemistry and other sciences, soon developing a secret technique to impart life to non-living matter, which eventually leads to his creation of the Creature.
Despite his intentions, the beautiful creation of his dreams is instead hideous, with yellow eyes and skin that barely conceals the muscle tissue and blood vessels underneath.
The Creature approached the family in hopes of becoming their friend. Initially he was able to befriend the blind father figure of the family, but the rest were frightened and they all fled their home.
The Creature demands that Victor create a female companion like himself. The Creature promises that he and his mate will vanish into the South American wilderness, never to reappear, if Victor grants his request.
Fearing for his family, Victor reluctantly agrees. He is plagued by the idea that creating a mate for the Creature might lead to the breeding of a race that could plague mankind. He destroys the female creature. The Creature then kills Clerval, leaving the corpse to be found where Victor lands in Ireland.
Seeking revenge, Victor pursues the Creature to the North Pole. Victor becomes agitated, insisting on continuing to search for the Creature, but is too weak from his exertions and dies shortly thereafter.
Victor's death has not brought him peace. The Creature burns himself to death.
