Yeah, I know I slowed waaay down on this, but I had a good reason. I'll make it short.

Anyway, in Chapters 6-9 Justine is wrongly accused of a crime. Victor could have stepped in and relayed his concerns. Or could he have? He doesn't know for sure that the monster did it, he just has a suspicion. What do you think? Should Victor have said something at the trial? Or since he had no proof, was he right to stay quiet?

So what the suns gone down, it was just as dark in the shadow of the house anyway. This night was unlike all that had followed this summer, a mid summers night grown cold?
