Character Analysis: Justine Moritz

Justine was adopted by the Frankenstein family after being rejected by her mother. She is a very lovable person who causes joy to everyone around her. She values having a family and being surrounded by love. She is very innocent and an overall good person. After the monster kills William, she is blamed for the murder. The monster framed Justine because he was jealous of the fact she was loved by everyone when he would never be. Justine is accepted by society while the monster isn’t. The other characters don’t believe Justine is guilty of the murder, but she takes the blame because she feels like she didn’t protect William enough. She ends up being executed even though she is innocent, and this shows flaws in the justice system.  Victor feels extremely guilty because he knows the monster was the one who killed William. Justine represents those being executed innocently during the time the book was written.
