In Chapter 22, Victor returns to Geneva, reassures Elizabeth Lavenza of his love, and agrees to marry her despite the creature’s threat against their wedding night. He keeps his secret, prepares to defend himself, and travels with his bride toward Evian, convinced that the threatened attack concerns his own life.

  2. Elizabeth asks whether Victor loves someone else, and he reassures her while promising to explain his secret after their marriage.
  3. Victor returns to Geneva, where Elizabeth comforts him during fits of rage and despair.
  4. Believing the creature intends to kill him, Victor agrees to a wedding in ten days and carries weapons for protection.
  5. Victor and Elizabeth marry and leave by boat, planning to spend the night in Evian before continuing toward Villa Lavenza.
  6. Elizabeth tries to enjoy the scenery despite her unease, while Victor’s fears return as they land at sunset.

What to notice

Victor claims moral responsibility for the deaths without explaining his creation. His father therefore hears apparent madness rather than a confession he can understand.
