Page 66; Chapter 8; Evidence and Question
The evidence is there that she, Justine, was the murder, but was it really her or the monster?
“I did confess…and now only am I truly miserable”

Page 80; Chapter 10; Question
Why is the monster getting ready to attack Victor after not seeing him for years?
“I was a poor, helpless, miserable wrench; I knew, and could distinguish, nothing; but feeling pain invade me on all sides, I sat down and wept.”
Page 84; Chapter 11; Shift
The book has once again shifted from happiness to depression. The monster is telling Victor how sad and lonely he is.
“I withdrew from the window, unable to bear these emotions
Page 89; Chapter 11; Surprise
Victor did so great in creating the monster because the monster has emotions just like a human does.
“I saw no cause for their happiness, but I was deeply affected by it”
Page 91; Chapter 12; Surprise
The monster acts so human that our feelings affect him too.
“The trait of kindness moved me sensibly, I had been accustomed, during the night, to steal a part of for their store for my own consumption, but when I found that in doing this I inflicted pain on the cottagers, I abstained…”

The passage tells the history of the cottagers that the monster stalks.
“One night during my accustomed visit to the neighborhood wood where I collected my own food and brought home firing for my protectors.”
Page 108; Chapter 15; Question
