Frankenstein reports that the soul is a crutch for weaker men than they.  Rosenkrantz and Gildenstern are dead: seeing events we know well fr</B><B>om a different perspective.

The letter was really a warning for Elizabeth to leave Geneva.  Exhausting all possibilities Buchanan tries to save her himself and and quickly thwarted, and unceremoniously dumped in the water. He is saved by Mary Shelly who, after a ride in the horseless carriage, eventually announces that though Percy and Byron preach free love, she practices it. When the monster kills again, Buchanan is found with her. The towns people prepare to lynch him, but the monster comes to his rescue. After a little ungentle persuasion, Buchanan agrees to help them produce a bride for the monster--however, he's got a trick or two still up his sleeve. As in Mary Shelley's original, action proceeds to a frozen waste where Buchanan chases the monster in the hope of snuffing out the abomination.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
