Frankenstein-Health

"The human frame could no longer support the agonies that I endured, and I was carried out of the room in strong convulsions" (pg 129). Victor's health rapidly declines after he agrees to build another creature for his monster. When he decides not to go through with it, the monster kills his best friend Henry. Victor is charged with the murder and he goes crazy. He becomes delusional and cannot handle the emotional turmoil Henry's death caused. His health had almost recovered from the shock when Justine and William were killed, but he was still weak. Victor seems very emotionally unstable and has many relapses. Victor even passed out when he found Elizabeth's body. He dies in the end because he works too hard to find the monster.
