Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
While in the brink, Victor slowly begins to put the pieces together. He is in jail for the murder of Henry Clerval, and the very death of Henry has Victor messed up enough. Victor knows the creature killed him, for eyewitnesses say they saw a man in a boat the same night Mrs Creature got dumped in the water. Victor soon realizes that his life is not at stake so much as are the lives of those he cares about most. The emotions and chaos are literally attacking his mind, and he battles the illnesses that are the product of the creature's actions. Victor even admits that "ever since my recovery from the fever, I had been in the custom of taking every night a small quantity of laudanum" (Shelley 135). Victor was poppin' pills just to close his eyes at night, it's a wonder that he didn't go completely insane the first time he created the creature. When he finally gets better, he returns home to marry Elizabeth. I have no idea why this happens; Victor has gone through the most insane, unbelievable, and horrific time and his life and he's going to marry the person he cares for most. Obviously, the creature kills her. At this point I have no more emotions, this rollercoaster ride is nearly over.
