In Mary Shelley's 1818 version of Frankenstein, Justine Moritz, Ernest Frankenstein, and William Frankenstein play relatively small, but important, roles. Justine Moritz became a servant for the Frankenstein family at a young age, and became quite close to the family, particularly Elizabeth. Justine, described as a “girl of merit” (Shelley, 57), embodies goodness of character and serves as a companion for Elizabeth despite their class differences.

  • In Mary Shelley's 1818 version of Frankenstein, Justine Moritz, Ernest Frankenstein, and William Frankenstein play relatively small, but important, roles. Justine Moritz became a servant for the Frankenstein family at a young age, and became quite close to the family, particularly Elizabeth. Justine, described as a “girl of merit” (Shelley, 57), embodies goodness of character and serves as a companion for Elizabeth despite their class differences. However, Justine, though innocent, is accused and condemned to death for the murder of William. Ernest Frankenstein, Victor's sickly younger brother by six years, has been “afflicted with ill health from his infancy” (Shelley, 25). Gradually, he regains his strength and health. Ernest's ultimate fate in the novel is ambiguous, but he quite possibly becomes the only surviving member of the unfortunate Frankenstein family. William, Victor and Ernest's brother, is the youngest son of Alphonse and Caroline Frankenstein. He is describe as being the “most beautiful little fellow in the world,” with “lively blue eyes, dimpled cheeks, and endearing manners. . .” (Shelley, 25) He is, in many ways, the very image of childhood innocence, but he meets his tragic end at the hands of the creature. William, who shares a name with Mary Shelley's own ill fated son, becomes the first victim in the creature's quest for revenge against his maker, Victor Frankenstein.
