Changes coming fast!!! Frankenstein Part 2- blog 4

The last three chapters of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein wraps things up fairly quickly. It is very confusing to readers that Victor still believe that the monster is going after him on his wedding night. From the history of the monster and his threats to Victor previously, it is obvious that his love, Elizabeth, will be the victim. This is exactly what took place. Victor left her so that he could face the demon alone, but that left Elizabeth helpless when the creature came for her. Using his same technique as the other victims, he choked her to death easily. While I believe there have been a number of events leading up to the rising action, the murder of Elizabeth is most likely the turning point. It sets in motion the rest of the events of the falling action. Upon Victor's return to Geneva, his father soon dies, leaving Victor lonely and vengeful. "The deep grief which this scene had at first excited quickly gave way to rage and despair," (Shelley 150). I am very curious to find out what will occur next. Does the creature still seek to bring suffering to Victor? Will Victor be able to suppress his feelings enough to find and stop his creation once and for all? Hopefully as I near the end, all of my concerns will be addressed.
