It does not hesitate to murder the persons who are most precious to Victor, including his younger brother and even his bride at the night of their wedding. Victor starts a desperate chase of his creature that leads him to the North Pole, where he dies of exhaustion. The Creature, seeing him dead, mourns for him and, having decided to die too, drifts away on an ice raft and is soon "lost in darkness and distance", never to be seen again.1 Although the “Creature” remains nameless in the novel, it is usually referred in every-day practice with the name of its creator. That’s why the name “Frankenstein” is often used metaphorically to describe an evil existence that causes death and destruction (fig. 1).
