English

Bond [772]2 years ago
3 0

Tom's arc shows how much he is wronged, to the point of violently losing his life, due to racism, which is the central theme of the book.

<h3>Who is Tom?</h3>
  • He is a black man.
  • He is a young and promising man.
  • He is someone wrongfully accused and imprisoned.
  • He is someone who is misjudged.

Tom is accused of abusing a white girl. Although there is no evidence of Tom's attack and there is evidence that proves his innocence, he is unfairly judged. People only see his skin tone and conclude that he is dangerous because of that and that he should be removed from society as soon as possible.

Despite evidence of his innocence, Tom is sentenced to death. This reinforces the book's theme about how racism is harmful and dangerous and therefore should not be encouraged in society, mainly because it causes intense suffering and injustice to people who do not deserve it.

What was the damaging evidence against Justine? Why didn't Frankenstein tell the judges about the actual murderer to save Justin
krek1111 [17]
The damaging evidence against Justine is a photograph that the creature has planted in her pocket. This photograph belonged to William, the murdered boy. Frankenstein keeps silent about the real murderer because he doesn't think people would believe him. On the contrary, maybe they would lock him up in an asylum, and then his dearest would remain vulnerable and unprotected. In my opinion, Frankenstein wasn't right to keep silent all the time. He was able to prove the truth because there were multiple witnesses who had seen the creature. Creating the creature was not Frankenstein's main sin; failing to cope with it was.
