"These are my confessions..."

"I did confess; but I confessed a lie. I confessed, that I might obtain absolution..." (Shelley 77).

Here, Justine has confessed to a murder that she did not commit.

Because of the fact that she lied, can Justine truly call this a "confession"? If not, what characteristics disqualify this as a "confession"?

Your thoughts as well...


Using Frankenstein as evidence, which is the greater wrong: telling a deliberate lie or withholding the truth?  Are the consequences the same or different?  What justification, if any, is there for doing either? 

Your thoughts too...

How does Shelley engender sympathy in the reader for the creature?

Your thoughts...

Why might Shelley have used a prolonged illness, in a sense, to separate Victor from the creature?
