Elizabeth Lavenza
Elizabeth Frankenstein (''née'' Lavenza) is a fictional character first introduced in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel ''Frankenstein''. In both the novel and its various film adaptations, she is the fiancée of Victor Frankenstein.
==Role in the novel==
Elizabeth Lavenza was adopted by Victor's family. While Victor's first cousin in the original release of the novel, in Shelley's 1831 rewrite, she is first introduced as Victor Frankenstein's unrelated, adopted sister. Victor describes her as his perfect woman: young, beautiful, and completely devoted to him. Elizabeth continually writes letters to Victor, encouraging him and acting as a positive force against his guilt at creating the monster.
After the monster begs Victor to create a mate for him and he agrees, he is furious when Victor destroys it before completion and vows "I will be with you on your wedding-night." This grim foreboding turns out to be true; on the day of her marriage to Victor, the monster breaks into the bridal suite and strangles her. Her death is significant because it gives Victor a unique understanding of his creation; he now knows what it feels like to be completely alone in the world, with nothing to live for but revenge.
