[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.
