Frankenstein discovered the secret of bringing things to life. He used body parts from a graveyard and assembled a "creature" who came to life. Upon seeing his creation, he ran in fear, deserting it. This forced the monster fend for himself.

The monster searched for companionship and love. However, due to his hideous nature, he only found rejection. Bitter and hurt, the monster searched for his creator to get revenge.
RESOLUTION
After killing Frankenstein's younger brother, William, the monster forces Frankenstein to make him a bride. When Victor breaks his promise, the monster kills his friend, Clerval, and then Victor's wife, Elizabeth.
Out of revenge, Frankenstein follows the monster north. It is here that he runs into Walton and his expedition. After telling the crew this unbelievable story, he dies.
The monster comes to pay his last respects and tells Walton that he intends on killing himself by setting himself on fire. In the end, Walton turns his expedition back, partially due to the story's moral: some scientific advancements are not worth the cost.
