The Diary of Alphonse Frankenstein 5
Tonights dream was more horrid than all of the last. I conjured up a dream that Victor, my son, a Frankenstein, was making deals with the murder of his own brother, William. It felt so real, as if i were a third person that no one could see, just listening to and taking in everything that the said and did. After the murder's heart felt plea and threats, I saw Victor finally give in, not daring to look at the monsters hideous face. What they talked of I could not tell, but as soon as Victor agreed and the monster had left I ran up to Victor and asked him what he had a greed to. Victor having finally seen me simply said that he had "just made a deal with the devil".
That is about the time that i wake up in a cold sweat and a fiesta of utter bewilderment in my head. Has Victor actually done what my dream insists? Could Victor be feasting with my sons murder? Did Victor have something to do with Williams death? NO, no, no, there is no way the Victor could a thing; I know my Victor and his heart is not in any sense as black as I conjecture.He loved William and would first kill William's Murderer than talk with him, nonetheless make agreements with him. I prey that I wake in the morning, for i am much too weak to be putting myself in such internal turmoil. I go back to sleep preying that my thoughts are correct.

I agree that Alphonse would be upset with Victor for dealing with William's murderer, yet wouldn't his love for his oldest son overcome any hatred he may feel after finding out what really happened? I can see Alphonse being angry and confused for a while, but in time, I think he would understand that Victor never intended for his creation to take the life of his youngest brother. The whole ordeal was an accident, after all, which is why I think Alphonse would eventually be there for his son and accept him back into the family.
