Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The boat captain finds his body and the monster who mourns Victor’s death in the room. The Creature disappears from the boat to kill himself.

Detailed explanation-2: -The monster then sneaks on board, gives an eloquent soliloquy about his sorrow and leaps off the ship onto an ice floe-gone to find himself some wood and burn himself alive. Walton watches him until he was “borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance.” Also, Walton’s expedition is a total failure.

Detailed explanation-3: -While Victor is prowling the halls of the inn where the couple was living, the monster makes good on his threat to Victor, enters their bedroom, and strangles Elizabeth. Victor shoots at the monster when he flees, but the monster gets away without being wounded.

Detailed explanation-4: -In Shelley’s book, the Creature does not die.

So, we as readers know his intent but not his actions.
