The day my creature came to life, was very horrifying. He haunted me in my house, and since that day I have not been able to function correctly. I am so  very thankful for Clerval, in aiding me back to my health. Once I read the letter from sweet Elizabeth, I could not bear to even look at myself. I knew the monster had done this, there was no one else who could commit such a crime, I knew it was him. And for that I blame myself for William's murder. I was the one who created this monster, I should be held accountable, not Justine. She doesn't deserve any of this. But if I tell anyone, they wont believe me. And I will have too many other things at risk. The third thing that makes me thrice accused is myself. It is my fault for everything that is happening and my fault that this creature even exists. If I plan on making him stop, the only way is to get rid of him for good, I need to follow him and track him and make my move to kill him. Then this can all be over with. 

I have always been involved in schools and education, I love being outdoors, and everything I do revolves around science and my studies. Ever since I was a boy I loved being outside, enjoying the scenery and the weather. I left home and went to Ingolstadt for my studies in college. Once I arrived there and started my experiments my love for the outdoors vanished. I became so involved in my work that the outside world had no appeal to me. I liked things to go my way, but when they didn’t it was not the end of the world. For instance when I showed my father my writings on the scientists and he laughed in my face and called me a fool for believing in their theories. My college professors also did this but I just kept my chin up high and ignored their hurtful words. I have been raised by a wealthy and generous family who love me unconditionally. I am closest with my dear Elizabeth. I had been an only child until my mother brought Elizabeth into our lives. My mother had very good intentions for Elizabeth and I when we were older, until she passed. I know she would have loved to see us wed. My mother had said Elizabeth was a present for my father, so I too thought she was a present. And from that day I looked over her, and was very protective of her. We had a special bond that no one could relate to. As I grew, my love for alchemy grew fonder and fonder. I had become more dedicated to my work and certainly more involved. I wished to take inanimate things and bring them to life, and in the end I succeeded. This has given me a passage to life, being able to bring something back from the dead. I am able to control such an important thing, this gives me power.  But it turns out my work wasn't as magnificent as i had thought, as it has caused me much unwanted pain. After seeing the face of this monster, in my own home, I could bare it no longer and my body took ill. It took almost two years to recover, and when I am finally able to move on with my life the monster appears again bringing everything back, making me remember all over again.

 

I have been chasing this creation of mine for the last several months. Tracking this being down has not been easy. I seem to get close, he's right under my nose, then in a flash he's gone. I came upon this ship, hoping to find warmth, food, and shelter. My journey has not been easy, maybe these people can help me. The captain of this ship is very nice,his name is Robert Walton, he is like the friend that I have  been searching for. Someone I can share my stories with, and I think that is what he has been looking for as well. Everyone on the ship wants to know my story, but the only person that I feel comfortable talking to is the captain. He seems to understand what I am telling him. Although I believe everyone would be thrilled to hear my story, I don't feel that it is the right time to tell them. Robert listens to me like he actually cares, and he tells me his story as well. We have actually become very good friends.  The crew saw that monster of mine on a sled with many dogs, they watched until he disappeared and that was the last they saw of him. Maybe with their resources and strong willed crew members I could use them on my journey to taking down this creature. Maybe because I did share my story with the captain, that he and his crew would be willing to help me track down my horrible creation.
