Chapter & Worse

Classics · Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, 1818

Does Victor marry Elizabeth in Frankenstein?

Yes, and she is killed the same night. The creature strangles Elizabeth on their wedding night, after warning Victor he would be there.

Victor takes the creature's threat to be aimed at himself. He sends Elizabeth to their room and goes looking for the creature, then hears her scream.

“I shall be with you on your wedding-night.”
Frankenstein, Chapter 20
“She was there, lifeless and inanimate, thrown across the bed”
Frankenstein, Chapter 23
