About this listen

 On Victor and Elizabeth’s wedding night in Evian, a storm gathers as Victor grows increasingly watchful. He sends Elizabeth to her room, but a scream soon reveals the Creature has murdered her. The Creature taunts Victor at the window and escapes into the lake; a futile night search follows. Victor collapses, then in grief returns to Geneva, where his father dies of sorrow. Imprisoned for madness and later released, Victor’s despair hardens into resolve: he vows revenge, appeals to a magistrate who doubts him, and commits himself to pursuing the Creature to the death.
