So Victor destroys his project, mad that Victor broke his promise, Frankenstein promises that he will see Victor on his wedding night with Elizabeth. When Victor leaves the island he enters a town and is accused of murder that happened the previous night. Victor is shown the body and then sees it's his childhood friend Henry Clerval.
