HAMARTIA
HUBRIS
PERIPETEIA
Frankenstein’s blind ambition leads him to investigate science that is best left alone.
ANAGNORISIS
Victor believes he can conquer death with science, recklessly playing “God” and ignoring the natural order.
NEMESIS
Victor thinks the monster is gone, but he returns home to find his brother, William, killed, and the creature lurking.
CATHARSIS
Victor realizes his monster killed his new bride, Elizabeth and this is what was meant by, “I shall be with you on your wedding-night.”
Once Victor brought the monster to life, his fate was inextricably intertwined with it, to the ends of the earth, and the ends of their lives.
In the end, the reader is left feeling pity for Victor, and fear that they too could suffer the consequences of hubris. Captain Walton, a surrogate for the reader, heeds the lesson and sails for home.
