The book explains that on the night he could finally revive the body, it was a "stormy night". This event is critical to the sequence of events because it is the highlight of the plot, the moment where Victor creates that nightmare that haunts him and the rest of the characters in the book.

The Monster flees Victor Frankenstein's home, and he wanders throughout the forest in search for people and more knowledge of them. When the monster discovers a satchel with a copy of Paradise Lost, he reads it without knowing that the book was written out of pure imagination and that it was not actually true. However, the monster still identifies with the conflict of the book.

The creature requests for Victor to make him a female partner who he could " live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being." The monster also promises to move to South America and to never be seen again. This is an important event in the plot because Victor finally has a choice amid the chaos that the monster brought upon him and his family. It is up to Victor to determine what will happen and if he is willing to take a risk.

At first, Victor is wiling to make a female partner for the monster. but when he realizes what is really at stake, Victor refuses to continue building such creature.

This causes the monster to make a threat to Victor, "I shall be with you on your wedding-night." The monster then disappears into the night."

Chapter 21 explains of Henry Clerval's murder. Unfortunately, the monster's first victim was Victor's best friend, not his fiancé as he thought it would be. The monster deposits Henry Clerval's body near the shore. Victor was unlucky and some witnesses placed him on the same location and time of the crime, which led to Victor being placed in prison for some time. During the time of his trial, Victor becomes extremely sick and he nearly dies. His health is deteriorating because of the sudden shock, sadness, and anxiety that he has developed because of the monster's doings. This is an important event because it signifies the monster's true capabilities into revenge and how it has indirectly and directly hurt Victor.

10 days after Victor arrives in Geneva, he marries Elizabeth. Victor and Elizabeth had a a very strong bond and he trusted her with his secrets and did she. However, that bond was not strong enough to withstand the monster. The creature ended up carrying out his promise to "be with him" meaning Victor, on the night of his honeymoon. However, Victor misunderstood the monster's threat and leaves the room with Elizabeth alone where the monster arrives at. The monster strangles Elizabeth, and by the time Victor realizes, it is too late. When Victor's father, Alphonse, finds out about the devastating news, he dies of grief, This event is important because it stands as a turn point of Victor becoming the one who is enraged and turning to revenge for comfort.

A series of letters are sent out in the final chapters, and it is shown that the crewmates of Walton's ship wish to return to warmer waters before the ship is impacted by the ice. However, Victor is still eager to continue to find and murder the monster despite his current worsening condition. Victor is extremely sick and is on his death bed caused by exhaustion and exposure to inhospitable climate. Unfortunately Victor dies and the monster finds out about this. The monster breaks into the room where Victor's body is located and tries to make Walton understand of his own suffering and that his actions were excusable considering all he had been though. Walton refuses to accept the monster's excuse and as a result the creature jumps off the ship because he realizes he has done wrong.

Following the murder of his wife and the indirect death of his father caused by grief, Victor is on a mission to track down the Monster and make him pay for the suffering that he caused Victor. Victor spends months traveling from Switzerland to Italy, from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, and even to the steppes of Russia. Still, Victor is not able to find the monster. Fortunately for Victor, the monster leaves letters behind to trigger him more and motivate him to find the monster. However, Victor made little progress.
