The greatest Victim

After reflecting on chapters 3-8 in Frankenstein, I would have to say that Justine is the biggest victim of all. I can't imagine what it would have to be like having everyone you love thinking your practically a spawn of Satan,all while knowing your innocent. I can't imagine the terror of hearing the verdict after the trial and just randomly having evidence planted on you, (such as the necklace) with no way of explaining it. Although, I also felt bad for Frankenstein because he would have to live with the guilty of knowing he was the catalyst which triggered all of these terrible events. However, he didn't have to die and be condemned/ executed in front of an entire community like Justine did so she is still the bigger victim in my opinion.
