Does the monster die in Frankenstein?
The novel doesn't show it. The creature says he will go north and burn himself to death, then leaves on an ice raft and is never seen again.
The last we see of him is through Robert Walton, the ship's captain who tells the story. The creature comes aboard after Victor's death, mourns over him, and leaves. His death is only his stated plan.
“I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt.”
“He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance.”
