The night I created the monster. It all happened so fast. I didn't think it would really work but I had to try anyway. The all of sudden as I was standing there he started twitching and moving his limb, that's when I knew I had done something terrible or great. I didn't know what it was going to do, I had no background about what I had created. All I knew was that it was alive and it was because I had done something miraculous. I was scared, no one knew what I have been doing in here and I didn't even know what I was creating. When he got up and came alive I was out, Gone so fast and hid. I didn't want anything to do with this monster. It just left the apartment and I was oddly okay with that now I didn't have to worry about what it was going to do... Or so I thought.  Then one night I got a letter from my father stating that my brother had murdered, I was full of anger and sadness. I had to go and see my family as soon as I could, I got on a train and went. when I arrived the gates were closed and I had to spend the night outside the gates. The next morning I went in and saw the body of my brother and noticed he had very unusual marking on him. After awhile of thinking of what could have happened to him I thought of the monster I created and wondered if that could be what had happened. After thinking about it long enough I knew I just knew it was the monster, I had named that thing Frankenstein. Oh how I was so disgusted with myself for letting this happen it was my fault. I was the rightful murder. When they came up with Justine as the murderer I had to help her, I couldn't let her take the blame for something I created. But I couldn't bring myself to tell anyone, I let her take the blame for it, they executed her. That is when I knew if i ever saw him I would put a stop to this and end him. But I didn't exactly go after him just yet.

Hi Hannah,

I like the way this post begins, because you set the stage for the creation of the monster well. One point of confusion rests in the naming of the creature. Victor doesn't name it, rather he calls it his creation or the monster. This is important, because a lack of a name adds to the alienation felt by the the creature. Also, why would Victor consider himself to be "thrice accused"?
