Vol. 3 Chapters 5-6: Wedding Jitters

As the wedding day nears, the creature continues to torment Victor by killing people close to him including Clerval.  The members of Victors family are understandably saddened by the recent deaths, but look forward to the long awaited wedding as a moment of happiness. 

In a private moment, Victor tells his father that he felt responsible for the deaths of William, Justine, and Henry - but not why.  Elizabeth begins to worry as well.  In a letter, she asks if he had fallen in love with someone else.  He resolves to marry Elizabeth soon, assuming that the monster would kill him on his wedding night and cease his horrible vengeance. 

For this post, take on the role of Victor and provide some answers with reasoning to back up your thought process in the following instances:  Discuss the reasons for telling your father that you felt responsible and why you made the decision not to explain.  Share why you believe Elizabeth is questioning your faithfulness and how you plan to reassure her.  Describe your plan to stop the creature from continuing his vengeful ways.
