poor justine..

Justine got the short end of the stick for sure. She was, like we talked about in class, a victim of Victor's ignorance. It was obvious that Victor knew the severity of his mistake, he was just choosing to keep it to himself and not trying to make amends. A quote on the bottom of page 65 illustrates this pretty well, it says, "every one else believes in her guilt, and that made me wretched, for I knew that it was impossible: and to see every one else predujiced in so deadly a manner rendered me hopeless and despairing." In class we talked about how Victor is in actuality a good person, but for some reason, I feel like I need to disagree. I feel like he is extremely selfish and almost heartless. How could he stand by, and allow an innocent human being be accused and punished for a crime that was caused by him.. ?
