Guilt in Frankenstein Guilt plays a major role in the story Frankenstein. Victor feels guilty for the deaths of William, Justine, and Henry. Guilt can be seen through the monster when he kills William, and Justine was forced to believe she was guilty in some way for the death of William. “Have my murderous machinations deprived you also of life. Two I have already destroyed; other victims await their destiny” (P.148). In this quote victor confesses to being guilty of causing the deaths of William, Justine, and Henry. “I did confess, but I confessed to lie. I confessed that I might obtain absolution. Ever since I was condemned, my confessor has besieged me… until I almost began to think that I was the monster he said I was.” (P.66).
