Chapter 20

Victor considers the potential dangers of creating a female companion for his monster.

Horrified by the thought of a new race of monsters, Victor destroys his work.

After a period of quiet dread, the monster enters Victor's room to confront him.

After a heated argument, the monster vows to exact a terrible revenge on Victor.

The monster leaves with a final threat, which Victor misinterprets as a death warrant.

After a night of despair, a letter from Clerval recalls Victor to the world.

Victor cleans his laboratory, packs the creature's remains, and reaffirms his decision.

After dropping the remains in the ocean, Victor falls asleep and awakens in a storm.

Victor sights land and makes it to a town, where he is met with suspicion.

The townspeople take Victor to a magistrate to account for a murder committed last night.
