24、坏了所有见到他的人。但是，怪物却有智力和人类的情感，并学会了说话。由于找不到任何朋友，他感到孤独和难过，并很快开始憎恨创造他的那个人弗兰肯斯坦。当弗兰肯斯坦拒绝为他造一个妻子时，怪物谋杀了弗兰肯斯坦的兄弟和他最好的朋友克莱瓦尔，最后还杀死了他的新婚妻子伊丽莎白。为了除掉怪物，弗兰肯斯坦追赶他到北极，但他本人却死在了那里。在故事的结尾部分，怪物在冰天雪地中结束了自己的生命。第二部分 弗兰肯斯坦节选我是在11月一个寒冷的晚上首次看到我的“作品”的。它躺在我的脚边，我十分紧张不安地准备了赋予它生命所需的设备。时间已是凌晨1点，雨点敲打着窗户。我的蜡烛即将燃尽，就在此时，借着微弱的烛光，我看见怪物睁开
