Justine Moritz

Justine Moritz is a young woman of remarkable gentleness and moral virtue who has endured hardship with quiet dignity. Taken into the Victor Frankenstein household as a girl after mistreatment by her own mother, she flourishes under the care and education offered by Victor Frankenstein's aunt, whom she comes to regard with almost reverent love. Her disposition, once marked by youthful vivacity, deepens into a tender mildness following her aunt's death and the subsequent losses of her siblings. She returns to the Victor Frankenstein home having been softened by grief into a more contemplative soul, bringing with her a grateful heart and an unwavering loyalty to those who have shown her kindness. Her presence in the household is marked by quiet competence, genuine affection for the family's children, and a simple goodness that endears her to all who know her well. Though her station is that of a servant, she is treated as a beloved member of the family circle, and the warmth of her nature makes her indispensable to the household's peace.
