Frankenstein could not tell anybody. He went home to his family. They told him that the police had found the murderer. It was Justine, the young woman who looked after the children that the police had arrested as they had found the gold chain in Justine's coat pocket. Everyone in the family knew that Justine had not murdered William. Frankenstein knew the murderer, but could not tell anyone. Justine would be free after the trial, because nobody could believe that she was a murderer. But the trial did not go well for Justine. There were a number of strange facts that were difficult to explain, and the judge decided that she was the murderer. The punishment for murder was death. Frankenstein went to the judge's house and told him about the monster. He did not believe and thought Frankenstein was lying in order to save Justine's life. Justine waited quietly for death in the prison.
One morning he saw a figure coming towards him faster than any man could go. It jumped easily over the rocks and he saw with horror the monster that he had created. On his face was a look of deep sadness, but also of evil. Frankenstein said: 'You are an evil creature. I shall kill you if I can, because you have killed two people that I love.' The monster's yellow eyes looked at me and said: 'I am the unhappiest creature in the world, but I shall fight for my life'. ‘You made me, and you should love me and be kind to me, like a father. William and Justine died because you did not love me. Why did you create me if you were not ready to love me?’ I ask you to do one thing for me - listen. Come with me to a warmer place, and listen to my story. Then you can decide.' He thought carefully about what monster had said. It was true that he had given him life but he had not given him love. Frankenstein decided to listen his story.
