Title: Default for Quiz #3 Chapters...
Course: English 4A SU15

Victory clearly knows that the monster committed this murder. Why doesn't he say that it was his fault that William was killed?
Feedback: Within the first two pages of Chapter 8 Victor thinks that he would've like to confess but "was absent when it was committed, and such a declaration would have been considered as the ravings of a madman and would not have exculpated her who suffered through me."

Q: Why did Justine admit guilt in William's murder?
- The evidence against her just seemed like too much to fight. (It was overwhelming yes, but she was more confused by some of the evidence than anything. She just couldn't explain it. Try again.)
- She blames herself for not being more watchful over William. (That's a good guess, but it's not why she admitted guilt.)
- She blacked everything out and thinks it's possible that she actually did kill him. (Umm, no. She remembers quite clearly, but is confused by how there is so much evidence against her.)
- She was hoping that punishment would be less harsh if she just confessed. (That's right, she says, "I did confess, but I confessed a lie. I confessed, that I might obtain absolution; but now that falsehood lies heavier at my heart than all my other sins.)
A: She was hoping that punishment would be less harsh if she just confessed.

Q: What attitude does the monster have toward Victor after they meet on the mountain?
- Calm and peaceful (That's right, though Victor is so angry he's not really able to listen very well at first.)
- Angry (No, though as you will see, he has good reason to be upset with Victor.)
- Sarcastic (It might be easy to feel this way toward someone who is so full of himself, but it's not the answer you want.)
- Defensive (It makes sense that the monster would try to defend himself, but he sees his actions as justified given the circumstances.)
A: Calm and peaceful

Q: The monster begs Victor to listen to his story a number of times. Ultimately he tells Victor that if he listens to his story and helps him that he will go away forever and not bother mankind ever again.
- True (That's right. Victor will soon have a choice to make.)
- False (It's True. The monster tells him that if Victor listens to him that he can decide what he wants to do with him after that (if he can) and if he helps the monster that he'll leave everyone alone.)
A: True

Q: Why does Victor ultimately decide to listen to the monster's story?
- He feels a sense of responsibility to be fair since he's the creator. (That's right. He thinks, I felt what the duties of a creator towards his creature were, and that I ought to render him happy before I complained of his wickedness.)
- He's too scared not to listen to him. (No, but he probably should be.)
- He's trying to buy time to find out a way to kill him. (No, the monster is clearly much stronger and faster than he is.)
- He wants to try and use the monster's words against him. (No, at this point, he probably has no idea how smart the monster is.)
A: He feels a sense of responsibility to be fair since he's the creator.
