Answer 1

Here are two plot summaries. Perhaps this will help you.

Plot Summary
Frankenstein, set in Europe in the 1790's, begins with the letters of Captain Robert Walton to his sister. These letters form the framework for the story in which Walton tells his sister the story of Victor Frankenstein and his monster as Frankenstein told it to him.

Walton set out to explore the North Pole. The ship got trapped in frozen water and the crew, watching around them, saw a giant man in the distance on a dogsled. Hours later they found Frankenstein and his dogsled near the ship, so they brought the sick man aboard. As he recovered, Frankenstein told Walton his story so that Walton would learn the price of pursuing glory at any cost.

Frankenstein grew up in a perfectly loving and gentle Swiss family with an especially close tie to his adopted cousin, Elizabeth, and his dear friend Henry Clerval. As a young boy, Frankenstein became obsessed with studying outdated theories about what gives humans their life spark. In college at Ingolstadt, he created his own "perfect" human from scavenged body parts, but once it lived, the creature was hideous. Frankenstein was disgusted by its ugliness, so he ran away from it.

Henry Clerval came to Ingolstadt to study with Frankenstein, but ended up nursing him after his exhausting and secret efforts to create a perfect human life. While Frankenstein recovered from his illness over many months and then studied languages with Clerval at the college, the monster wandered around looking for friendship. After several harsh encounters with humans, the monster became afraid of them and spent a long time living near a cottage and observing the family who lived there. Through these observations he became educated and realized that he was very different from the humans he watched. Out of loneliness, the monster sought the friendship of this family, but they were afraid of him, and this rejection made him seek vengeance against his creator.

He went to Geneva and met a little boy in the woods. The monster hoped to kidnap him and keep him as a companion, but the boy was Frankenstein's younger brother, so the monster killed him to get back at his creator. Then the monster planted the necklace he removed from the child's body on a beautiful girl who was later executed for the crime.

When Frankenstein learned of his brother's death, he went back to Geneva to be with his family. In the woods where his young brother was murdered, Frankenstein saw the monster and knew that he was William's murderer. Frankenstein was ravaged by his grief and guilt for creating the monster who wreaked so much destruction, and he went into the mountains alone to find peace. Instead of peace, Frankenstein was approached by the monster who then demanded that he create a female monster to be the monster's companion. Frankenstein, fearing for his family, agreed to and went to England to do his work. Clerval accompanied Frankenstein, but they separated in Scotland and Frankenstein began his work. When he was almost finished, he changed his mind because he didn't want to be responsible for the carnage another monster could create, so he destroyed the project. The monster vowed revenge on Frankenstein's upcoming wedding night. Before Frankenstein could return home, the monster murdered Clerval.

Once home, Frankenstein married his cousin Elizabeth right away and prepared for his death, but the monster killed Elizabeth instead and the grief of her death killed Frankenstein's father. After that, Frankenstein vowed to pursue the monster and destroy him. That's how Frankenstein ended up near the North Pole where Walton's ship was trapped. A few days after Frankenstein finished his story, Walton and his crew decided to turn back and go home. Before they left, Frankenstein died and the monster appeared in his room. Walton heard the monster's explanation for his vengeance as well as his remorse before he left the ship and traveled toward the Pole to destroy himself so that none would ever know of his existence.


Plot Summary
Plagued by royal treachery, vengeful scheming, and an unsettled ghost, Denmark is ripe for destruction. Directly following King Hamlet's recent death, the widowed Queen Gertrude has hastily remarried Claudius, King Hamlet's own brother. Young Prince Hamlet is galled by his mother's disloyalty and sulks darkly in Elsinore castle. At midnight, the rambling ghost of King Hamlet exposes a hidden treachery to Prince Hamlet: Claudius fatally poisoned the slumbering King Hamlet in order to steal his crown and his queen. The phantom king begs Hamlet to avenge his foul murder. Prince Hamlet agrees and feigns insanity to disguise his bloody motive.

King Claudius is troubled by two pests. First, young Fortinbras of Norway has raised his army against Denmark in order to reclaim his father's lost land. Claudius suppresses Fortinbras' challenge but allows the hotheaded young Prince to pass peacefully through Denmark on his way to fight Poland. Claudius' second nuisance is his deranged nephew and stepson, Prince Hamlet. Claudius employs Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet's former friends, to spy on the mad Prince. Polonius, the King's principal advisor, argues that Hamlet's insanity is nothing more than love sickness. Ever watchful of his daughter's chastity, Polonius ordered Ophelia to reject Hamlet's lusty admiration. To prove that this rejection has caused Hamlet's mania, Polonius plants his daughter in Hamlet's path and hides with King Claudius to spy on their fixed encounter. The Prince's mania appears more sinister than expected, and Claudius is unconvinced by Polonius' explanation.

Prince Hamlet hires a group of traveling actors to perform "The Mousetrap" for the royal audience. Because the play closely mirrors the murder of King Hamlet, both Hamlet and his confidant, Horatio, will study the King's reaction for signs of his guilt.

Horrified by the performance, King Claudius prays for forgiveness. However, because he still possesses his crown, his queen, and his ambition, his prayers prove insincere. Hamlet nearly slaughters the kneeling King, but he halts his vengeful sword when he remembers that a soul killed in the midst of prayer flies directly up to heaven.

In Queen Gertrude's chamber, Hamlet chastises his mother for her lusty disloyalty. Spying behind an arras (curtain), Polonius perceives Gertrude's danger and cries for help. Hamlet mistakes the spy for King Claudius, and plunges his sword into the curtain. Polonius is slain, and King Claudius sends Hamlet to England as punishment. Aboard the ship, Prince Hamlet intercepts a treacherous letter from Claudius, which orders the King of England to execute Hamlet. Botching Claudius' scheme, Hamlet forges a new letter, naming the spies Rosencrantz and Guildenstern as those condemned to die.

Polonius' death and his dishonorable burial drive Ophelia to insanity. The maiden ultimately dies, drowned in a suspected suicide. Laertes, Polonius' son, returns with a mob from Paris and demands retribution against Hamlet. Claudius proposes a rigged fencing competition between the Prince and Laertes: Hamlet's sword will be blunted, to protect Laertes, while Laertes' sword will be sharp and poisoned, to slay Hamlet. As planned, Laertes wounds Hamlet with the poisoned sword. In the scuffle, they exchange rapiers and Hamlet slices Laertes with the toxic weapon. Both are doomed to die, but the King and Queen die first. Queen Gertrude falls dead from a poisoned chalice meant for Hamlet and, after the fight with Laertes, Hamlet slashes and kills King Claudius with the poisoned rapier. With his dying breath, Hamlet supports Fortinbras' appointment as the next King of Denmark. Surrounded by the royal massacre, Hamlet pleads with Horatio to tell his tragic story to the world.

Answer 2

Hmm... I'm going to make use of the literary types due to the fact you did not specify. In the radical Frankenstein the creature (Frankenstein's truthfully the title of the author) is truthfully tremendously smart (learns learn how to learn and talk in lower than a yr and could be very articulate) however he is nonetheless most effective approximately as powerful as an excessively powerful human. Now Dracula however can turn out to be a mist, wolf, or bat by means of night time and will speak with wolves. He additionally has psychic talents and is most probably as powerful (if no longer more potent) than the Frankenstein creature. However if the Frankenstein creature used to be to be taught Dracula's weaknesses I'm rather distinct he would determine learn how to entice or wreck Dracula, in the end, Professor Abraham Van Helsing controlled it.
