Victor dies from exposure to the elements. The novel is his narration to the captain of the ship that initially saves him. Before he dies, Victor Frankenstein relates his story. The creature finds the body of his creator and vows to kill himself for being so treacherous. He leaps from the ship and is never seen again.
Remember that the creature feels bad that he is so violent, but doesn't necessarily take the blame. Earlier in the novel you may remember a conversation between Victor and the creature. The creature says to Victor, "I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed." And also remember the subtitle to the novel, "A Modern Prometheus." The creature echos sentiments similar to Milton's Satan of "Paradise Lost." Both the creature and Satan do not understand why their creator's hold them accountable for their crimes when they were made to be that way. Even though they both hate their creators, they are also unavoidably attracted to them. Frankenstein's monster wants to be good, but believes that he cannot and feels guilty for it. This is where the similarity between Satan and Frankenstein's monster ends. Satan feels no remorse and vows forever to work against his creator. Mary Shelly had more sympathy for her character and made him noble.
You better not use this answer for a test. If you do, you will go to hell.

The monster didn't kill Frankenstein, Frankenstein's quest for revenge and his unrelenting hunt for the monster killed Frankenstein...remember Frankenstein was found near death on the ice pack... the monster was just there to mourn the loss of his creator... you can e-mail me if you have additional questions

The way I see it, Dr. Frankenstein was seeking revenge of the creature, and he was probally dying of starvation,hypothermia,
etc. But remember the sleddogs also died in the book (when he was on the sled)too probally from the same thing Dr. Fankenstein died from.

Let me know. I have the more daunting task of turning Touzours into an Italian fan (I'm almost there) and I want to know what will happen to me in the end.

the doctor died from exposure...the monster indirectly killed him (he wouldn't have been there were it not for the monster) but it's not like the monster killed him with his own hands....and then the monster kills himself because he has nothing to live for anymore
