The End

Wow, things sure wrapped up quickly in the novel, every chapter seems to have another person dead. Henry, he goes first, although what are the chances that his body appears on the same beach that Frankenstein lands on. Then there goes Elizabeth, how could Frankenstein be so stupid with the whole "I will be with you on your wedding night" of course he was going to kill Elizabeth, he said his goal was to torture Frankenstein not kill him. Then the dad dies, at least he isn't strangled. But what about Ernest, Frankenstein's little brother, after the dad dies all of a sudden we don't hear anything more about him. It is like Shelley forgot he exists.

As for the real end, it is kind of interesting how Frankenstein dies before the monster can get to him, it is also ironic how the monster expresses such sadness at the murder of all Frankenstein's friends but claims that they were necessary, this is the only time the monster seems demented and we have to agree with Victor in his decision not to make more monsters.
