Bookwormjillk Come on Frank 3mo
dabbe Of course, blame the help! Victor is now responsible for two deaths for not being forthcoming regarding his role in this fiasco. It seems that the creature is wreaking his revenge on Victor for abandoning him. All innocence is lost. 3mo

KAO Meanwhile, ever since the beginning of this book, I‘ve been amazed that this takes place in Switzerland, of all places! So are these characters British transplants—and I missed that somehow? Or are they really speaking German, French, Italian, or Romansh (official languages of Switzerland), and we‘re just getting an English translation?? Just seems odd to me! 3mo
KAO Okay—I had forgotten about the letters at the beginning! Robert Walton wrote to his family members from Russia and then later from his sea voyage about meeting this very sad fellow traveller (Victor, I assume), who spoke “in English, although with a foreign accent” and who later shared his tragic tale. I know he needed to be from a mysterious place, but Switzerland? 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly Victor continues to be incredibly self-centered, insisting that he is the most tormented! 3mo
ElizaMarie Poor Justine!!! 3mo
Sparklemn Why didn‘t anyone at the trial ask how she could have had the physical strength to strangle a healthy young man with her bare hands? 🤷🏼♀️ 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @KAO - Switzerland has a lot of dramatic settings, so it definitely helps 😂 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @Sparklemn - Right? And why said healthy young man would just... let her?? 3mo
KAO @TheAromaofBooks I guess you‘re right! My own experiences there have been quite limited and significantly less dramatic in a “great setting for a horror story” sense! 😂 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @KAO - Ooooo I would love to visit Switzerland! I am sure photographs do not do it justice! 3mo
ReadingInTheRealWorld @Clare-Dragonfly Those were my thoughts, too! He claims to be wretched but then basically does nothing. By this point, Victor should have been trying to track down his creation, knowing what will likely happen again. 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly @Sparklemn @TheAromaofBooks I thought he was a child… 3mo
Sparklemn @Clare-Dragonfly oh, he may be a child! I‘m not sure which brother is which. 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @Sparklemn @Clare-Dragonfly - I think he was 7 or 8? And “tall for his age“ from Elizabeth's letter. I'm sure he could have been overpowered by a full-grown woman, but it still seems like it would have been a struggle, or that he would have had time to call out for help? 3mo
