In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements. Large faults within the Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as subduction zones or transform faults.[1] Energy release associated with rapid movement on active faults is the cause of most earthquakes. Faults may also displace slowly, by aseismic creep.[2]

A fault plane is the plane that represents the fracture surface of a fault. A fault trace or fault line is a place where the fault can be seen or mapped on the surface. A fault trace is also the line commonly plotted on geologic maps to represent a fault.[3][4]

A fault zone is a cluster of parallel faults.[5][6] However, the term is also used for the zone of crushed rock along a single fault.[7] Prolonged motion along closely spaced faults can blur the distinction, as the rock between the faults is converted to fault-bound lenses of rock and then progressively crushed.[8]

Why doesn’t Victor protect his wife, Elizabeth, from the monster’s attack on the night of their wedding?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Because he misunderstands the monster's warning and he thinks that Elizabeth could protect herself.

Explanation:

During the course of the novel Victor and the monster have become irreconcilable enemies, leaving no truce in the intention of destroying each other.

The monster has committed several criminal acts in pursuit of his revenge on his creator but Victor has stopped acting rationally by letting himself be carried away by a strong mental instability, disregarding the monster's ability to find and punish him.

Elizabeth represents the peace of mind that Victor needs, the selfless altruism of unconditional love but also the rational strength that the creator does not have.

Actually, Victor is desperate in the village of Como where they had retired to celebrate their wedding night despite the gloomy atmosphere and the bad omens.

Victor Frankenstein becomes more and more anxious because he is certain that on that very night, he or his creature will die tonight.

Elizabeth, seeing him so agitated and indisposed, begs him to tell her what he is so afraid of. Victor tries to comfort her, but cannot answer her question, and only asks that, in order to prevent his beloved from seeing the monster, she should retire to her room while he watches the residence and the surroundings for any trace of the monster.

Finally, Victor hears a horrible scream coming from the bedroom where Elizabeth is resting, but it is already too late: Elizabeth is lying strangled and Victor is aware of the great mistake he has made.
