Frankenstein briefly recounts of the moment during which visits Geneva to go and trace the whereabouts of the ghost creature and have a feel of what his brother went through, all in an act of vengeance and revenge for the misdeeds of the creature he created in the laboratory. He recounts, “As I came to my home, I decided to stop at the place where William had died. Lighting streaked around the top of the mountains and a storm broke out. Thunder crushed my head. Suddenly, in a flash of lighting, I saw a giant figure near the trees. It was hideous and deformed. My teeth chattered and I shivered violently. I was the creature I had brought to life. I watched it climb to the mountain and disappear” (Shelley & Francis 12). This makes Frankenstein to go out almost in anguish and he stays around the mountain in despair hoping to find this creature and bring it down. He acknowledges the fact that, this so called ‘murderer’ cannot be arrested when he confides to Henry who appears to be certain that the issue will be handled in the hands of the law enforcement. The events following this death further lead to the sentencing to death and execution of the potential suspect, Justine, the younger brother (Shelley & Francis 14). The creature finally emerges and confronts Frankenstein and to his astonishment it communicates verbally. His feelings for the creature cool down his anger to a feeling of remorse and he finally understands the reason that led to the creature acting the way it did.
