The overall takeaway from the book Frankenstein is, humans cannot play the role of the creator of life, people fear what they do not understand which leads to catastrophe.
A human trying to emulate the role of God through hedonistic and scientific ambition leads you to a role beyond our human capacity. Human nature is beyond control, it's instinct. We are animals, we are monsters beneath it all with our emotions of anger, revenge, and jealousy that can overpower us. 
The development of human condition is crucial in child development. The lack of parental guidance, as shown with the monster, leads humans to a breaking point. We need guidance and to be molded in order to be emotionally and physically stable. 
Neglect and loneliness mentally and emotionally can unstable us, it breaks us down to where we are our only friend and biggest enemy. Confinement causes insanity, the monster goes through this solitary confinement with consistently being alone and in hiding. Humans care so much about others judgement, opinions, physical appearance, and acceptance. That constantly being feared and neglected creates this stereotype that you later categorize yourself, and eventually you play the part of what's accepted.

When Victor finished his story the narrative reverts back to the letters of Walton. Which shifts the tone of the story to have an end without a conclusion. 
Walton becoming ill after revealing the story emphasizes the exhaustion that has occurred from this, that he's unable to orally relieve it. Sickness relates to Jaques Barzun's quote "Only a great mind that is over thrown yields tragedy." Victor's "great mind" had been deteriorated, the sickness "yields" to the ultimate "tragedy" his death. 
When the monster came back to Victor he apologizes about his evil manner, and wishes he could erase the past and move forward. This event emulates Robert Kennedy's quote "Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live." Victor's death represents repent, because without tragedy it is impossible to know what is happiness and how to understand good and bad situations. Victor's death demonstrates anagnorisis because it is the eye opening moment for the monster. It's the critical discovery that makes him realize all the people he has affected.

The elements of anagnorisis and catastrophe draw conclusions to the larger thematic question of Victors tragedies relating human condition by demonstrating that a breaking point in a humans life can lead them to resembling a monster with anger and revenge.
Anagnorisis is demonstrated by the death of Henry Clerval. "The examination, the presence of the magistrate and witnesses, passed like a dream, from my memory, when i saw the lifeless form of Henry." These deaths cause a critical discovery for victor, realizing the monster is after him.
The catastrophe is resembled by Elizabeths death which is Victors breaking point. "I heard a  shrill and dreadful scream." This causes Victor to have revenge and anger towards him. These tragedies amplify a relation with human condition by demonstrating a humans reaction. Such as the deaths cause Victor to go into this illness, "The human frame could no longer support the agonizing suffering that i endured and i was carried out of the room in strong convulsions." This resembles psychological torment and physical infirmity. This chase he has with the monster demonstrates this hatred which causes this relation between man and monster. Elizabeths death though is his breaking point this transition of his emotions emphasizes the relation between man and monster, by dehumanizing Victors way of thinking and now thinking as the monster.

The conclusion of Victor murdering Clerval with his obsession for science is significant by it's representation with the foreshadowing in the chapters, the value of poet in society, and the significance of Henry Clerval by demonstrating how there needs to be this grounding between art and science. 

The foreshadowing and the value of poets in society suggests the significance of Henry Clerval who represents romanticism, which is the overall theme of the book, and the disease of scientific knowledge by representing a balance between the two. Henry being a poet as well emphasizes the value in society by expressing the grounding  you'll need in order to stay sane. Which is why Victor felt like he always needed Henry around until science got the best of him. With the conclusion that Victor has murdered Henry suggests that with the obsession with science with science overcame him creating this imbalance that Henry seemed to give him. "Is this gentle and lovely being lost forever." Emphasizes this permanent imbalance Victor will now have a second time just as he did he realized his creation was a monster.
