Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: The Creature (Take 1)

Robert Isaac Harker interprets the Creature's final appeal to Frankenstein.

At the end of Mary Shelley's 1833 novel (unlike the film version of 1931), the Creature does not die in a blazing windmill. Baron von Frankenstein has pursued his Creature to the Arctic. On the frozen plain, he has attempted to kill it. The Creature has overpowered him and now, helpless, he must hear the Creature's demands.

Frankenstein may be imagined bound hand and foot, gagged and tied to a chair. The Creature stands behind him.

Place: the Arctic.
Time: the early 19th century.
