Meh, I've been sadder (ch 6-8)

Frankenstein
Mary Shelley

After Frankenstein was left losing his mind last section, he starts on the road to mental recovery thanks to his friend Henry Clerval. While Frankenstein is healing up, the reader gets updated on his family back home, which he has not seen in 6 years. The creepiness returns with Elizabeth treating her younger siblings as Frankenstein's and her children. Nevertheless, the family is eagerly awaiting the return of their little Victor. BUT WAIT! William, the cutest of all the family, has been murdered and it is up to Victor Frankenstein to solve the crime (not really, but it sounds cool). However, when Victor arrived home late at night, he saw his creature lurking near the sight of William's murder. In my opinion, he catapulted to conclusions (more severe than just jumping to conclusions). At the sight of Victor, the creature bounded up a mountain and disappeared into the stormy night. This encounter convinced Victor that his handiwork caused the death of William. Furthermore, it made him think that the accused murder, family friend Justine Moritz, was innocent. The courts, on the other hand, thought she was guilty, and ended up killing her. The truly ominous news comes at the end of chapter 8, where Victor says William and Justine were the "first hapless victims to my unhallowed arts" (Shelley 60). dun dun DUN!!!
