Alphonse is Victor’s father and is an
example of kindness and selflessness. His
happiness is dependent on the happiness of
his children and when he passes away his
death foreshadows the death of Victor.
William is Victor’s youngest brother and is
the first to be murdered by the monster,
which causes Victor to return home to his
family.
Henry is Victor’s best friend and is Victor’s
intellectual opposite. He is one of the only
things keeping Victor from becoming a
monster himself and serves and the opposite
of the monster with his gentle nature and
good looks. In the end he is also murdered
by the monster causing Victor to fall into
depression.
Justine is a well-loved servant in the
Frankenstein household. She is executed
after she is framed by the monster for the
death of William.
De Lacey is the old, blind man that lives in
the cottage that the Monster observes. He
was robbed of his fortunes due to his
kindness and exiled from his home. He is the
first person to treat the Monster with
kindness due to his blindness. He represents
hope for humanity by sympathizing with the
Monster and telling him not to despair.
Felix is the son of De Lacey, who drives the
Monster from his home when he finds him
Alphonse was another
reminder to Victor of his
grave mistake in creating the
monster. His death was not a
consequence of the monster’s
murderous hands, but instead
a death that stemmed from
his loved ones’ deaths, which
all in turn stemmed from
Victor.
William symbolizes loss,
violated innocence, and a
turning point for the monster
to turn from good to evil.
Henry was Victor’s anchor to
his sanity, and foiled Victor’s
overambitious character. His
death and Victor’s accusation
of murder represented how
society is quick to judge
others and emphasizes
Victor’s irresponsibility for
abandoning his creation of a
female monster that would
have satisfied the monster.
Justine symbolizes lost virtue
and innocence and the
monster’s underlying
jealousy in wanting love
from others. His framing of
the innocent Justine displays
his turning point in his
vengeful hatred towards
humanity.
The De Lacey family serves
as the monster’s attempt to
find belongingness within
society. He is optimistic in
his perspective of humanity
and shows innocence towards
his harsh reality. Their
completely harsh rejection of
the monster serves to be the
breaking point in which
