The crisis is the moment in the story when the audience isn't sure the protagonist will succeed or fail in his/her struggle, for the novel Frankenstein Victor and Elizabeth's wedding night before Elizabeth's murder is the Crisis. This is the moment in the story where Victor is on the verge of physically obtaining his happiness (aka Elizabeth) but the audience isn't sure because although he hasn't harmed Elizabeth yet the foreboding words of The Being linger in Victor's mind thinking the monster will kill him.
