[00:04.16]I collected parts of bodies and,

[00:06.34]after two years,

[00:07.36]I was ready to bring my creature to life.

[00:09.97]But when I saw the monster I had created,

[00:12.85]I felt horror and disgust.

[00:16.17]How can I describe the monster?

[00:18.48]You could see the muscles under his thin,

[00:21.00]yellow skin.

[00:23.13]His hair was long and black,

[00:26.03]his teeth were pearly white,

[00:27.25]but his eyes were watery and his lips black.

[00:32.74]When my friend Henry Clerval arrived,

[00:35.49]I said nothing about the monster,

[00:37.18]which by now had left my house.

[00:39.99]Henry brought news of my family.

[00:41.78]They were well and had taken in a servant

[00:43.58]called Justine.

[00:45.48]Imagine my shock when a letter arrived

[00:47.00]from father-my young brother William

[00:49.36]had been murdered!

[00:51.57]I went to my parents' house.

[00:53.34]Just before I got there,

[00:54.37]I saw the monster running through the trees.

[00:57.19]I realized the monster

[00:58.56]I had created had killed my brother!

[01:02.64]When I got to the house,

[01:04.05]I was horrified to discover that Justine,

[01:06.29]who had been found near the scene of the crime,

[01:08.14]was accused of the murder.

[01:10.45]I knew she was innocent,

[01:12.30]but could say nothing.She was hanged.
