We all know Frankenstein has created the beast in secret and was afraid to tell anyone about his discoveries of how to create life. Shortly after, the monster has been seen close to where the murder of William took place. A chapter or so later we are led to believe that the beast has almost positively killed William; and thus, this leads to the death of Justine.
Frankenstein feels that he is the one to blame because he created the monster. He should've told his family of his secret a long time ago and they might've helped him destroy the creature, but by this time it is too late. Sometimes we hold on to secrets too long, when the truth is what is always best.
Have you ever held on to a secret too long, and when you are ready to let the truth be known, it is already too late? What can you do in that painful situation? What do you think he should've done?

In a painful situation that your describing, I think that their is only one answer...you should spill the beans. I also think that Victor should have said that the monster killed William, even if it meant ruining his scientific career. Telling his secrets may have save Justine's life, holding in secrets undoubtedly lead to Victor Frankenstein's demise. Overall, withholding information can be bad, but for Victor it was catastrophic.
ReplyDeleteIn a situation like this people shoue tell at least somebody. Most all people have at least one person that they tell even their most secretive things to.. I would try to tell my one person and tell them to reveal it to the others because i wouldnt feel comfortable doing so. That way everyone that needs to know figures out and the problems may be solved sooner.
ReplyDeleteAnd hasnt everyone held secrets in too long at least once in their life?
