      She relies on the fact that they have a close relationship with Justine. "... she had no temptation"

Reliability: Is reliable in the sense that she will protect Justine with her word, but she can't provide any evidence.

How do we feel about this?
     We feel that Elizabeth's motherly role is shining out when someone she loves is being accused of a wrong doing.

The character says he is lonely and depressed
He says it in a hopeless dark tone.
He says it to make us feel bad for him
As a result we feel that he is self- pitiful. We feel no pity because he chose his lonesome state.]]> 2017-10-30 18:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mbowers34/ixikwaqebxc3/wish/201865996 12. Elizabeth Lavenza (p.63) 900015084 https://padlet.com/mbowers34/ixikwaqebxc3/wish/201866048 We feel a calming mood in this passage. She says Victor should stop dwelling on Justine's death and see the goodness around him in a calming tone  in order to comfort Victor. The narrator is not reliable because Victor cam be using this in order to elicit sympathy for him from the audience.  ]]> 2017-10-30 18:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mbowers34/ixikwaqebxc3/wish/201866048 #6 Justine Moritz https://padlet.com/mbowers34/ixikwaqebxc3/wish/201866093 What: "The God of heaven forgive me" and "I almost began to think that I was the monster that he said I was". The tone is distressing and depressing. How: She says it as if she wishes she do it all over again and change the outcome. She talks in a way that sounds like she does not want to die because she knows she is innocent, but she will die because that is what people want. Why: She says it to confirm to Elizabeth that she didn't do it (almost so she can die with a clear consience). She says it to explain her feelings of gratitude toward Victor and Elizabeth. She explains why she is thankful toward them. How we feel: We feel sympathetic toward her because we don't feel what she is or feel what she feels but we don't like what is going on. ]]> 2017-10-30 18:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mbowers34/ixikwaqebxc3/wish/201866093 5. Victor Frankenstein (p 57) 900015024 https://padlet.com/mbowers34/ixikwaqebxc3/wish/201866145 He is saying he wants to go home and Elizabeth wants to hear about the outcome

He says it in a low, and slow way because he wants to come off as exhausted but he keeps pushing through, which makes us feel sympathy towards Victor

Victor Frankenstein (pg. 50) 900015273 https://padlet.com/mbowers34/ixikwaqebxc3/wish/201866175 Victor is describing the tempest as the storm being a funeral for William, but he gets angry as it happens because he sees the creature and gains the idea that the creature could have killed his brother then turns to self blame when he realizes that he was the one who created the creature

Victor's tone during the tempest is one of awe and excitement, but later on turns into anger and  self blame when he sees the creature

Victor takes this tone because he wants to try to sound remorseful and make himself pitiful

This makes us have a negative feeling towards Victor because we have the thought that he may just be trying to make himself look good

       The way Justine talks to Victor shows how happy she is to see her friend for the first time in years. Yet she is also upset because she does not want him to believe that she is the murderer of his brother.
       Victor describes his anguish because he uses it as an excuse for why he is not owning up to his crime. Justine makes sure Victor knows her innocence because she does not want him to resent her.
         This makes us feel angered at Victor's cowardice because even though he says he is sad and cares for Justine, he will not
take the punishment he deserves. Justine is innocent and does not deserve to die and Victor is somewhat willing to let her die.

At this point, Justine is accepting her fate when we know she is innocent. We get this feeling of distress and woe since we know her terrible situation will end in her death. We also seem to favor and like Justine because she is trying to stay strong during her trial. Justine is also trying to convince the Frankenstein family that her death is inevitable and will give them some sense of justice for Will's murder.

Justine Moritz 900015185 https://padlet.com/mbowers34/ixikwaqebxc3/wish/201866400 Tone: heartbreaking, guilty
Victor is describing how Justine looks before the trial, and since he knows that the creation is the murderer, he uses words like "confident in innocence" and "kindness which her beauty might otherwise have excited" to show the beauty of Justine but by using such positive adjectives, it makes it seem as if Victor is trying to convince us that even if he knew that the creature was the murderer and that he stayed silent, he  sympathizes Justine and it breaks his heart to let her die in such a cruel way. The quote is beautiful, but as a result, we feel angry and annoyed that he still tries to explain and cover for himself during Justine's trial which ends with an execution, which wouldn't have happened if he said something. But Victor was too selfish and self-absorbed to see that he killed a person. We could say that Justine was basically murdered by Victor.

- Does not really acknowledge  and consider Justine's own feelings
-Victor Frankenstein feels an internal conflict, because he of guilt, "I could not sustain the horror of my situation" 
- "The fangs of remorse tore my bosom and would not forego their hold", this shows Victor's feeling pressured and unaware of how to react 
REACTION
- frustrated with Victor's immature and selfish actions, does not consider Justine
- unfavorable, does not agree or support his actions
