    Elizabeth is the only happiness in his life. In a attempt to rise
    Victors spirits, Alphonse suggests that they celebrate the
    marriage immediately. But Victor says no, unwilling to marry
    Elizabeth until he finished his obligation with the monster. So, he
    asks Alphonse if he can first travel to England and Alphonse
    consents. Victor and Alphonse arrange a two-year tour. After for a
    while, the reach London. Victor and Henry journey through
    England and Scotland, but victor grows impatient to start with his
    work and free himself of his bond to the monster. Victors urges
    Henry to stay while Victor goes on a tour of Scotland. Henry
    consents and Victor departs for a remote, desolate island to
    complete his project. Quickly setting up a laboratory in a small
    shack, Victor devotes many hours to working on his new creature.
    He often has trouble continuing his work because of how
    unsatisfying, even grotesque the product of his labor will be, he
    got traumatized with the last experience. While working one
    night, Victor starts to think about what might happen after he
    finishes his creation. He imagines that the monster wouldn’t
    follow the deal they had, or that the new female and the monster
    would have childrenas creating a “race of devils”. While thinking
    on this, victor likes up to see the monster grinning at him through
    the window. Victor destroys his work in progress. The monster
    gets angry at victor for breaking his promise, and at the prospect
    of his own continued solitude. He curses and vows revenge, then
    departs, swearing that he will be with Victor on his wedding night.
    The following night, Victors receives a letter from Henry,
    suggesting that they continue their travels. Before he leaves his
    shack, Victor cleans and packs everything and the remains of the
    second creature. He rows out onto the ocean and throws
    everything to the ocean, allowing him to rest in the boat. He got
    some troubles because of the wind in the ocean, but he could
    return to land but he reaches shore near a town. When he lands,
    a group of townspeople greet him rudely, telling him that he is
    under suspicion for a murder discovered the previous night. After
    confronting Victor, the townspeople take him to Mr. Kirwin, the
    town magistrate. Victor hears witnesses testify against him,
    saying that they found the body of a man along the beach the
    previous night and that just before finding the body, they saw a
    boat in the water that was said that was the boat of victor. Mr.
    Kirwin decides to take Victor to see the body of the dead man.

    victim is Henry Clerval, with the black marks of the monster’s
    hands around his neck. Victor suffers a long illness. Victor remains

    nervous about his impending confrontation with the monster.
    Finally, the wedding takes place, and victor and Elizabeth depart
    for a family cottage to spend the night. Victor and Elizabeth walk
    around the grounds, but victor can think of nothing but the
    monster’s imminent arrival. He tells Elizabeth to retire for the
