Frankenstein Chapter 10 Summary

  • Victor feels awful. Then it rains.
  • He goes up to the top of Montanvert to see the views, since pretty things have a way of cheering him up.
  • Instead he sees the monster.
  • Victor threatens to essentially kick the monster's butt, but the monster looks like The Rock.
  • The monster, despite everything, invites Victor to come to a cave to talk with him by a fire. FIRE. Look out for that Prometheus reference.
  • The monster talks eloquently, so Victor consents to listen to the his life story. We know what you’re thinking. Uh-oh – are we in for another "Chapter One: I am Born?" No. This guy is a lot more interesting than Victor.
