Revision-Justine Moritz final journal

For my last move I decided to write a death note in which Justine would write down her parting words to the Frankenstein family. I wanted Justine to realize that even after fighting for her freedom, she was probably still going to be convicted, and that she would be executed. Justine accepts the fact that she’s going to die because she knows that God is on her side, and knows that she’s truly innocent. Justine even says, “God knows how entirely I am innocent,” and “I do not pretend that my protestations should acquit me: I rest my innocence on a plain and simple explanation of the facts which have been adduced against me; and I hope the character I have always borne will incline my judges to a favorable interpretation, where any circumstance appears doubtful or suspicious” (59). She also knows that in death, she will get to see William again, whom she considers a “dearest blessed child” (62)! Justine “soon shall see you (him) again in heaven, where we shall all be happy; and that consoles me (her), going as I am to suffer ignominy and death” (62). Even though her attempts were fruitless, I think that having Justine fight for her own innocence really develops her character more, and implies that there is more to her that meets the eye.
