Tear Jerker / Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Go To

  • After Victor has died, the Captain finds The Creature in his cabin, mourning.
    Captain: Who are you?
    Creature: ...He never gave me a name... [begins to cry bitterly]
    Captain: Why do you weep?
  • Poor Elizabeth. Dragged into the whirlwind of Victor's madness and later horribly murdered only to be crudely resurrected AND THEN she commits suicide once the reality of her situation hits her.
  • The Creature manages to befriend the blind grandfather at the farmer's hut after picking his crops for him and saving the old man from a cruel beating by the landlord. Moments later, the rest of the family returns and chases The Creature away in fear and disgust.
  • When the ice breaks and Walton begs the Creature to come with him and his crew, he has only this to say before climbing on and igniting the funeral pyre:
    The Creature: I am done with man!
