Fourth Journal 9/20

When Victor doesn't stand up and pronounce that Justine is innocent for William's death there is rationalization because his excuse is that if he speaks up with the truth the will be considered crazy and not be able to prove her innocence, only putting him in a worse place. This is also a place where anagnosis is being avoided because he doesnt realize that his excuse is more cowardly than noble. Now that two deaths have been caused bue to Victor and his monster there is a sort of perpetia because all the good, peace, and retreat that Victor had achieved while his "adventure/journey" with his friend is over instantly when William dies and then Justine dies and he is forced to face the disaster he has created by giving life to the monters.
