The Diary of Alphonse Frankenstein,
How come all these calamities befall me, how come my family no longer knows what happiness is? What have I done oh Lord, to deserve all these maltreatments? It has come to my attention that Victor has been imprisoned for a while now.It came as a shocker to me when they had accused him of Henry's murder. How Victor had ventured to Ireland is above me, but how it could have been possible that Victor, in cold blood had murdered Henry while there is inconceivable to me.
Victor loved Henry with as much brotherly love as he would show to his own brother who has past. I was told by the magistrate that as soon as his eyes were laid on the lifeless form that he had come to see, that Victor's held in emotions exploded outer wards in the form of psychotic rants and strong convulsions. Barely clinging on to life for a long while, I was finally allowed to see my son. As I walked into the barley hospitable place that they called a prison I vowed beneath my breath to see his released from this dark mistress.
A few days passed and the lifeless form I now called my son was liberated from that hell hole of a prison. And in another couple of days we were off on the boat that would soon take us back to our home of Geneva; which was on the mind of Victor non-stop until we got nearer and I saw the happiness, almost relief in his face and features. That was when he again released his sorrows in a torrent of tears.
We hadn't even gotten home yet before the nightmares started again, but it was no longer affecting me, but rather Victor. They came so frequent that I my self could no longer get any sleep worrying about his well being.
Sleepless and in despair, Alphonse Frankenstein

Chapter 19-20
The Diary of Alphonse Frankenstein
I have asked Henry to keep me up to date on their most recent of activities, I have also asked him to keep me posted on the structural stability of Victor. He has written with excitement that he and Victor have been exploring London with a pleased sense of being. I can tell that Henry is much excited, for thats all he writes about; I can see Henry living a very gracious life. Where was I? Oh yes, Victor. He also tells me that Victor is visiting many prominent men of his field. I could already sense the recovery of his interest in life.
I was much in high hopes until i had a dream the night before that showed horrid clips of an almost deserted island where Victor had ventured to after he had left Henry alone and vulnerable. I saw him constructing a monster from the body parts of others; this creature it self looking like the miscreant which he had been discussing with in another one of my apparitions. I in complete horror and dismay watched as he constructed the body; I also watched as he in a frantic rage tore apart what looked to be half finished.
Just as I was about to ask him why he had done what he had done the horrible beast barged into the small cottage. I was already hidden when he turned to Victor and asked in a hoarse voice why Victor had destroyed what he had begun for him. I sat hidden in deep anticipation as they disgusted back and forth for moment (their tempers shortening with every second that passed), and then finally the monster uttered the words "I shall be there on your wedding-night", after which he eluded Victor and escaped.
That was when I woke and for a while contemplated when it all meant. This surely was a god sent dream that was to either warn me or explain why something will happen, until then I fear that Elizabeth is no longer safe.

Chapter 18
The Diary of Alphonse Frankenstein 6
Victor has finally came home and i am elated to see the improvement in his character. He has changed from his sad and melancholy state into this character that glows bright with an inner light of spirit and delight, and still, deep in side his inner core i can sense the gloom that still lingers from the previous circumstances. I thought that telling him my future plans of him and Elizabeth would kick him back into that continuous circle of happiness that he seemed to be on before the horrible deaths of William and Justine.
I resisted from jumping with joy when i heard that he new well of my plans and expected the engagement of him to Elizabeth. I also tried to reassure him that if it were what he was worried about that there should not be a worry in his head.
He said that he wants to go to England first, before the wedding, which i was quickly induced into complying with. He said that he will be gone for at least some several months, maybe a year, but on the month of his arrival we will have him married to Elizabeth and happy for the rest of his life.
He left on the latter end of September and by now should be at Strasburgh waiting for his friend Clerval who is also accompanying him. With all the love a father could give to his son
Sincerely, Alphonse Frankenstein

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.

Chapters 15-16
The Diary of Alphonse Frankenstein 4
Days have passed since I have set eyes on my son Victor. I fear that something bad has happened to him. A felling of utter dismal has completely engulfed me into a spiraling dark hole. I fear that the worst has happened, because Victor was supposed to be home by now and his absence gives me reason to suspicion. My fears have reached even into the darkest depths of my dreams, with the God forsaken monsters stalking me, waiting for me to turn around before they obtain my neck in a strangle-hold. That's about when i woke; soaked in my sweat from head to toe, shivering until I can't anymore and fall back in to the turmoil I called sleep. The worst part of the nightmares are that my son, Victor, is at the head of the monsters, as if he is the one that is telling them to attack us and torment me so.
As soon as a nightmare so horrid as this comes by, I start to conjecture that maybe Victor had a part in these horrible afflictions that have plagued our family, but by the morning all my condemnation has effaced from my mind with the night.

The Diary of Alphonse Frankenstein 3
Victor has been gone for a while now and it seems that with every minute that passes, my anxiety mounts higher and higher. I conjecture that he has tried to run away from the emotions has felt from his brother's, my son's passing. He has ventured to near Alpine Valleys in search of solitude and a change of scenery; something, anything that will give him the ability to focus on another subject that he has seemed to forget in all the unspeakable tragedies that he and this family has endured; himself. I sure wish that he comes back in higher spirits, for my heart cannot take any more misery.

The Diary of Alphonse Frankenstein 2
This Earth is a very cruel mistress; first my wife, my son, and now an innocent girl that had nothing to do with anything. Our family loved her sincerely and now she is gone, to live with William and the other angels.This false execution has hit everyone extremely hard, but i feel that Elizabeth and Victor are the only ones that have taken it to heart. I fear for their safety. I feel as though i can not trust Victor in the kitchen by his self. Elizabeth, poor, poor Elizabeth; it seems that she wants to make friends with death. i am hoping that an excursion to the family home at Belrive will can their thoughts of gloom and melancholy. A trip shall be the turning points of or gloom, for a more inviting and committable family is want we shall become, till that date come i bid you a due, yours truly, Alphonse Frankenstein.
