Frankenstein: Volume III - Chapter 1

Chapter 1


Victors puts off creating the female creature, doubting whether it was wise to agree to the monster's request. He realises that he will need to travel to England to find information, and he becomes depressive. His father notices that his spirits are low (mainly because of his guilt over William and Justines death) and asks if it because of his impending marriage to Elizabeth. Victor assures him that the only happiness in his life is his marriage to Elizabeth. Alpohonse says that Victor should celebrate his marriage immediately but Victor wants to complete his promise to the creature first. Victor arranges a two-year tour in which Clerval will accompany him. After travelling for a while they reach London

What makes it gothic?
  • Ambiguity - Will Victor make a female creature?
  • Emotions - Victor feels guilty and depressed
