Elizabeth just wants to have a place in the world. As a young girl she was sold to the Frankenstein family from a pauper in the woods. The woman told the Frankensteins that she would inherit money as an adult. Elizabeth is sure this isn’t true so she attaches herself to Victor. Elizabeth is willing to do anything to keep Victor happy. She covers up his dark side and helps him settle when he’s agitated. Problem is that Elizabeth doesn’t realize the level of Victors depravity until it’s almost to late and she’s lost the people she loved.
