Frankenstein 9

"The shutters had been thrown back; and, with a sensation of horror not to be described, I saw at the open window a figure the most hideous and abhorred. A grin was on the face of the monster; he seemed to jeer, as with his fiendish finger he pointed towards the corpse of my wife."
-page 145

To me, this scene is the scariest scene in the whole story, and this quote is the scariest image. I can only imagine the fear that ran through Victor when he heard Elizabeth scream and realized that the creature's plot was to kill her, not him. The image described in the quote is horrifying. The creature at this point is almost demonic. He points and laughs at the dead body of Victor's wife! In the end, the creature says that he regrets killing Elizabeth and feels bad. Based on this image, I would have to disagree. At least in the moment, the creature seemed extremely satisfied with killing her. It was almost like he was happy because Victor was starting to feel like the creature felt with having no companion and love. I think I actually got the chills from reading this scene, because of all of the suspense built up to the wedding night, and finally the terrible scene had taken place.
