She says that Justine Moritz family died and she has moved to their house as a servant. • Victor recovers and takes Henry, who is studying Oriental languages, to the university. • Henry avoids all science people. They think he is modest but the sight of chemical things torment him over the monster. • He decides to return to Geneva and awaits a letter from his father specifying the date of his departure. • He and Henry take a walk through the country looking at nature’s beauty.

  5. Character Analysis • So far no changes in characters, so all 2-D • Victor: Anxious, Crazy, Isolated • Elizabeth: Optimistic, Sweet • Henry: Companion, Helpful

  6. Setting • Long, harsh, ominous Winter delays return to Geneva, Spring passes and now back to Fall. • The University supplies Victor with knowledge and supplies. • Victor spends a lot of time wandering the town and courtyards to escape.

  7. Mood/Tone/Voice • Horror leads to suspicion • Hopeful, with a new family member, Victor’s recovery, meeting old friends, seeing a beautiful city, etc. Great for bringing everything up and crushing hopes later. • Ernest joining army doesn't sound good.
