Dear Jounal,
It came to me as a surprise when I found out that my brother had been murdered. According to my father, he had been choked to death. Who would be so cruel as to do this thing to an innocent person like William? It has been a while, maybe two years, since the time I have seen my creation, the monster. I know of no one else who would have done this to my little William.

When I had arrived to my father's city, the gates were closed and there was no way for me to get inside. I waited the night out, during which I saw my monster who quickly fled. It must have been him who had murdered Will. The next day, Justine was accused for killing William, even though she didn't kill him. I still can't believed that Justine confessed to killing William; why lie? The following day, she was hung. So far, my monster had killed two innocent people. How could he do this? I am currently broken and don't know what to do. What have I done? Why have I created this monster? Forgive me my dear brother. Forgive me.
The Journal entry was very well thought out. The way he questioned himself and regretted making the monster really captures the way he feels in the book.
ReplyDeleteThe way that you expressed Frankenstein's thoughts in the post aligned with the feelings he had in the book. The part where he blames himself not only shows his character, but also develops the story. I like the way you asked questions to encourage the reader to think about the issues themselves. Very well thought out.
ReplyDeleteThese journal entries were so emotionally descriptive, you can feel what Victor Frankenstein must be going through. I was really touched by the begging for forgiveness from his dead brother.
ReplyDeleteYou captured Frankenstein's emotion well as he grieves the unjust trial of Justine and his brother's death which are partly his fault. What do you think he will do next?
