Frankenstein #3

Tittle: Frankenstein w/ SAT vocabulary words + definitions
Author: Mary Shelley
Pages Read: 252/429

The story consists of 3 volumes in which separate conflicts occur. In the first one, Victor Frankenstein finds out to be "capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter". And so, he puts all efforts into constructing a prototype of a man. 
In the second part of the book, the conflict is in fact is not about Frankenstein, but rather his creation. Frankensteins creation seeks human interaction, he marvels man, and is so hopeful to learn more about human culture, that he risks his identity being found and once again being pushed away from his greatest want. And so, this need is what Frank. Creation is trying to achieve, which is the conflict in this section.
Through the last and final section of the book, Frank. Creature demands that Frankenstein create him a mate, and when Frankenstein resist. He kills Victors friend, and gets Victor convicted for the murder, promising Frakenstein that he will utterly destroy his life, because his creator is not worth living a joyful life, while his creation is depressed and has no one to share his life with. As I have just begun the 3rd volume, I just have a hypothesis of what the conflict will be.
I think all of the story will end by Frankenstein being murdered by his own handwork.
