Victor was found what he made disgusting and runs away from it then later comes back to kill it but finds that it disappeared. He then later returns to Geneva where his family live, then the creature basically arranges a meeting for him and Victor, then the plot switches over to the creature’s point of view by telling Victor the where he tries to adjust to his environments. The creature travels for many days and eventually comes along a family of cottagers. He hides in a shed and watches their life. He watched how they went along things, he listened to their talking’s, and he also helped during the night because he saw how it hindered them.

Victor hears the sound of a flute that he knows that the creature plays and ran outside to inform the guards and look for him, and then they heard a crash from the room where Elizabeth is.
