has died, begs his forgiveness. He gives Victor seal meat and pours wine into his mouth to revive him, and tells his creator he loves him. Victor admits he does not know how to love, and insists in continuing his hate-driven pursuit of the Creature. Both resigned to their fate, the Creature leads Victor on into the fog. Differences from the novel The story is told from the Creature's perspective rather than from Victor's. Because of this, the audience witnesses events such as his relationship with De Lacey firsthand rather than in backstory. The frame story involving Captain Robert Walton is dispensed with entirely, as well as much of Victor Frankenstein's backstory. The play opens directly with the Creature's "birth". The Creature kills the De Lacey family in revenge for their rejection of him, which he does not in the novel. Elizabeth Lavenza is Victor's cousin rather than his adopted sister. (They are cousins in the original release of the novel but changed to adopted siblings in the 1831 rewrite. In the play, they remain cousins.) The Creature doesn't leave for Geneva until a full year after his birth, rather than four months in the novel. The character of Justine, William's nurse, is cut, and William's murder is never solved. The character of Henry Clerval is also cut. Monsieur Frankenstein personally brings Victor home from Scotland, and Victor is never imprisoned due to the absence of Clerval from the story. Monsieur Frankenstein doesn't die at the end of the play. The Creature rapes Elizabeth before killing her in the play, this does not happen in the novel. Victor Frankenstein and Elizabeth stay in Geneva on their wedding night, rather than Villa Lavenza by Lake Como in the novel. Felix and Agatha are a married couple in the play, whereas they are siblings in the novel. Victor dies at the end of the novel; in the play he does not.
