Justine Moritz

My life was never an easy life, but I never complained. Before my father died, I had to deal with my mother's dislike towards me, but my father was always there to comfort me, for I was his favorite (Frankenstein 49). But after his death, my mother's treatment towards me became almost unbareable (Frankenstein 49). Then one day, Madame Frankenstein observed my mother's treatment towards me, and took me to her home and raised me as one of her own children.

When Madame Frankenstein fell ill, I took it upon myself to nurse her back to health, but, alas, she succombed to her illness (Frankenstein 50). A few months later, I hear news of my brother and sister's deahts, and how my mother regrets her treatment towards me. I moved into her home to live with her again, but as cold weather approached, she fell ill and died. Thus, I moved back into the home of my beloved Frankensteins.

But fate decided to throw more tragedy my way. Dear William, the Frankenstein's youngest boy, was murdered, and I was blamed for doing it (Frankenstein 62).

"God knows how entirely I am innocent. But I do not pretend that my protestations should acquit me; I rest my innocence on a plain and simple explanation of the facts which have been adduced against me, and I hope the character I have always borne will incline my judges as a favorable interpretation where any circumstance appears doubtful or suspicious." (Frankenstein 65).

Alas, everyone turned a deaf ear to me, and I was pronounced guilty of the murder of William Frankenstein.

"I do not fear to die, that pang is past. God raises my weakness and gives me courage to endure the worst... Farewell, sweet lady, dearest Elizabeth. my beloved and only friend; may heaven, in its bounty, bless and preserve you; may this be the last misfortune that you will ever suffer! Live, and be happy, and make others so." (Frankenstein 69-70).
