- Chapter 7 is the moment in the story when Victor's brother William had been brutally murdered back in Geneva, this all had happened once Victor had finally returned to University.
- This is a very crucial part of the story as it finally makes Victor enraged with anger, you can tell he is angry as throughout the chapter he doesn't morn much, instead he gets straight up and travels back to Geneva. I believe this is a tipping point in where Victor's personality had changed from an innocent, vulnerable man into an angry, revenged man.
- He arrives in Geneva to see his family however he is too late, the gates of the city had been closed and Victor isn't aloud in.
- The closing gates could be representing Victors thoughts that his family will turn him away once he arrives because of his long time away. Another interpretation could be showing that the gates represents how things have changed since Victor's arrival, maybe the city and his family are not ready for his arrival therefore closing the gates on him.
- Victor walks around where his brother was murdered, as he was walking around, he spots the monster lurking within the trees. Victor instantly realizes the monster through it's sheer ugliness and also realizes that the monster is responsible for his brothers murder.
- Although there is no actual proof, Victor automatically points the finger on his creation for the brutal murder of his brother, this shows that Victor is sort of obsessed with the monster, he wants to know what it is doing and why. It also shows that Victor's anger is taking over and all he thinks about is finding the murderer.
- The next day Victor finally reaches his families home where he discovers that Justine, the servant, had been accused of the murder of William because both had the same picture of Caroline in their pockets.
-This is similar to the way Victor has blamed the monster without having no actual proof. Justine had been accused of the crime just because they had the same picture. This shows how narrow minded people had become in the story.
- Justine's innocence is backed up by Elizabeth and Victor. Victor is certain that Justine is not the murderer as he has set his sights on the creature being the murderer, but he won't tell anyone who he thinks is the murderer.
