As discussed in question one, point of view is important in story telling. This story is first told by Victor Frankenstein, then Robert Walton. I want you to be creative here. Choose a scene or chapter from the novel, then choose a character (other than Walton or Frankenstein) from that scene. Rewrite that section of the novel from a different character's point of view (for example, when Frankenstein is chasing the monster on the dog sleds, you would rewrite this scene from the monster's point of view). Tell me the page number and character your scene is from. Briefly summarize the scene first. Be creative!

This scene is from Chapter 8, page 74. It's when Elizabeth and Victor go to see Justine after she confesses to the murder. It's from Justine's point of view.
ReplyDeleteI sat in my room after the trial feeling helpless. Elizabeth and Victor had come to see me one last time. I felt complete dread overcome me when I saw them both walk in. I had just confessed to the murder of Victor's brother, regardless that I knew that I didn't commit the crime, they thought I did. Elizabeth looked at me with a look of disappointment and I couldn't help but explain that I lied about the murder. I must say I was very happy to see she believed me, but I was a little curious to find out that Victor knew the whole time I wasn't the killer. Did he know something? It seemed strange but at the the time and I couldn't help but think he had something to do with it. But what kind of man would murder his own brother, or at least know about it and say nothing to anyone?
