What is/are the result(s) of Elizabeth's death? Check all that apply.

• Victor's father dies of grief.

• Victor is accused of her murder and imprisoned.

• Victor goes mad and is locked up for months.

• Victor considers reanimating Elizabeth since he has the skills and knowledge.

Should Victor have tried to bring Elizabeth back to life?

• Yes

• No

• I have mixed feelings about this one.

Victor's appeal to the magistrate regarding the creature and its actions leads to

• the magistrate launching a massive manhunt for the creature, but it ultimately fails.

• the magistrate having Victor locked up (again) because he appears to be insane.

• the magistrate patronizingly saying he believes him but there is little to do about it.

• the magistrate's wholehearted belief in Victor's tale, which leads to the community questioning the magistrate's judgment.

Following all the previous events, Victor's sole focus becomes

• avoiding being killed by the creature.

• finding and destroying the creature.

• healing his own wounded psyche.

• finding solace in his few remaining friends.
