Frankenstein

     Frankenstein is a novel that was written by Mary Shelley. It was first published in 1818.
The story was about a man named Victor Frankenstein who created a monster that
committed a series of murders when he was rejected by society.
     Mary Shelley was the author of the novel Frankenstein.  She was born in August of 1797
and died in February of 1857, at the age of fifty-four. In the summer of 1816, Mary stayed
with a poet named Byron. Also staying with Byron was his physician Polidori and Jane
Clarmont, a short story writer. Byron suggested they should all write a horror story. This is
when the story of Victor Frankenstein occurred to Mary. She said the story was born right
out of a nightmare. At first, it was only meant to be a short story, but at the urging of her
husband, she increased the story to its present length.
    The novel took place in Geneva, Switzerland in the 1700s. Victor Frankenstein lived in a
house near Lake Gevena:
          We possessed a house in Geneva, and a campagne on Belrive, the eastern
     shore of the lake, at the distance of rather more than a league from the city.

     The house was near the Jura mountain range. Victor climbed the mountain when he sought
solitude and consolation. The house itself was big and had an upstairs and downstairs. Much
of the story unfolded in this house. However, Victor Frankenstein had previously attended the
University of Ingolstadt for three years and this was where the monster was created.

          As the plot begins an Arctic explorer named Robert Walton finds a man adrift in the sea
outside his boat. He nursed the man back to health and finds he is Victor Frankenstein who
tells the story of his life to Walton.
     When Victor was young he was fascinated with life. He wanted to bring a creature to life.
While attending the University of Ingolstadt, he created the monster and brought it to life.
However, he became terrified of the creation and fled from it in horror. He became mentally
sick and did not know the whereabouts of the monster.
     One day Victor received a letter which informed him that his little brother had been
killed. A maid that was a close friend of the family was accused of the murder. Victor knew
that the monster had killed his brother. However, the maid was found guilty and hung. Victor
felt responsible for both deaths and climbed high into the Jura mountains behind his house,
only to find the monster. The monster told Victor that he had learned to read and talk by
watching a poor family. The monster demanded that Victor make him a companion; he
promised to leave and never be seen again if it was made.
     Victor decided to make a trip to Scotland, but was forced to bring his friend, Henry
Clevral. As he worked on...
