1 Chapter XVIII

2  Frankenstein couldn't bring himself to start on the second monster because it repulsed him.  It depressed him and the family thought this depression was because he did not want to marry.

3  Frankenstein assured his father that he loved Elizabeth and wanted to marry only her.  But when his father suggested an immediate marriage, Frankenstein insisted that he needed to travel to England first.

4 Chapter XIX

5  Frankenstein and Henry spent several months in London before they went on a tour of Scotland.  He left Henry behind and left to work on an island.  Although he was motivated to work by a desire to protect his family, he still found it difficult to work on the second monster.

6 Chapter XX

7  Frankenstein was almost finished with the female creature but realized that the new creature might have her own thoughts.  He began thinking about all of the things that could go wrong (Violence, offspring, etc…) and did not want the responsibility  While Frankenstein was deciding about the fate of his work, the creature looked in the window of his laboratory.

8  Upon seeing the original creature, Frankenstein ripped the second creature apart.  They argued, but Frankenstein would not change his mind.  The monster vowed revenge. ▪ "'You can blast my other passions, but revenge remains - - revenge, henceforth dearer than light or food! I may die, but first you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall curse the sun that gazes on your misery.'" Chapter 20

9  The monster vowed to be with Frankenstein on his wedding night and then disappeared.  Even with death looming over his head, Frankenstein still couldn't make himself construct the second monster.  Henry asked Frankenstein to return to the mainland.

10  He packed up and disposed of the parts from the second creature in the water at night.  He spent the night in the boat.  When he made it to land, he was suspected of murder by M. Kirwin.

11 Chapter XXI

12  Kirwin heard accounts of fishermen discovering the strangled body and saw a man row away in a boat like the one Frankenstein arrived in.  Frankenstein heard the similarity between William's murder and this one.

13  M. Kirwin showed Frankenstein the body; it was Henry.  Frankenstein got sick for several months, ranting and raving about killing the monster.  M. Kirwin thought he was innocent of the murder.

14  Alphonse came to care for his son.  After his acquittal, Frankenstein and his father headed home to Geneva, but Frankenstein's health was still frail.
