Frankenstein pages 43-76

Total for week: 102

The letter that Elizabeth writes to Victor expressed her concern for his sickness and attempted to encourage him to write to his family. She also says that Justine Moritz who is a girl who used to live with victor's family, came back to his house after the death of his mother. Later Victor introduces Henry to the professors, which is painful for him because it brings baack symptoms of his illness. Victor then decides to return to Geneva and wait for his father's letter to reveal the date he is leaving. At the end of this chapter, Victor and Henry wander around the country and enjoy the beauties of nature.

In the next chapter, Victor recieves a letter from his father that says his younger brother, William, was murdered. After hearing this news Victor rushed to Geneva, but when he got there he found that the gates were shut so he decided to roam the woods and outskirts of the town. He wandered around where his brother was murdered and found his monster that he created creeping around; Victor was positive that his monster killed his brother. When Victor returns home the next day he finds out that Justine has been accussed of the murdering of his brother. A servant found a picture of Caroline Frankenstein in Justine's pocket which was last seen in William's possession.

In hopes to gain salvation, Justine confesses to the crime. After her confession she tells Elizabeth and Victor that she is innocent. They kept quiet about the secret, but sadly Justine was excecuted for her confession of crime. Victor becomes extremely guilty because his creation killed two of his family members now.

I can't even imagine the guild Victor must feel that his creationn killed his own family members. I'm wondering if he is going to admit this fact to other people or if he is just going to keep it quiet and live with the guilt.
