Justine Moritz in Frankenstein




Justine Moritz is mentioned briefly in Frankenstein. But! Though it is for a short time, she has a huge significance to this story than you might think.
Justine is the first person to get accused of the Monster's FIRST murder. Anyway, Elizabeth is catching up Victor about what is going in the household which includes Justine as a servant around the house. I really wanted to point a parallel similarity between Elizabeth and Justine. They were both adopted in the Frankenstein household. They are both very sweet and intelligent. Likewise, Justin is next appears when Victor's brother William is found killed and she's blamed for this crime. She didn't kill William though! The monster did! This later is found later on the book which is nice. The monster did though accuse her for the murder because he knows she is something beautiful he can never have. He knows something beautiful is easily to destroy. Later, when Victor does find out about William's murder he immiduateky feels guilty and literally tortures himself over it. He is angry with himself. He is ver upset. He is someone you know right away something is up. Justine dies of fate. Elizabeth wants to make herself believe she is innocent. Victor is just there. He is making NO move. He just lets Justine die. Therefore because of William's death, Justine dies and many other die. She is therefore a very important minor character.
