Lies, Lies, Lies, Nothing I Hear But Lies

Lies and secrecy are more prevelent themes in this novel. Victor receives another letter when he and Henry return to the university from his father telling him his younger brother had been murdered. Victor rushes home, but when he gets there is not able to get in, so he goes for a walk to visit the place where his brother was murdered. He sees his monster there, and fears that it was the one that killed his brother. However, there is evidence that seems to indicate that Justine is really the guilty one, though she claims to be innocent. Victor tries to convince everyone that it was not Justine, but fears that if he tells the real story everyone will think him insane. So, he does nothing to help Justine, and she ends up being executed. I imagine that there will be reoccuring events where Victor lies to prevent from telling anyone about his monster, but we will see.
