The mood and tone of this passage is quite intriguing as it is discovered numerous times of the story moments of melancholy rationalization. Reasons for this cause are both of ignorance and solemnity. In the aspect of ignorance, Victor Frankenstein's relative reveals disturbing behaviors that suggest that she's not only mournful of the murder of her child, but ignorant of the true, devastating cause of the murder, and mistakenly naive of the real murderer at hand. It is semi-ironic, however, that her perpetrator is partially insane in a sense that Victor created a terroristic animal/human who in an mysterious manner, annihilated his creator's relative. Peripeteia is also notated in a few instances in the story.
Yet, the most dramatic moment of peripeteia was when Victor received the death letter from home that his cousin, William, was murdered by someone who strangled William, was murdered by someone who strangled William by the neck. Before Victor received the unfortunate news flash from his father, Clerval had just helped Victor recover his sense of dignity, joy, and health. It was a serene period of time that was very significant to Victor. But the turning point in Victor's life is sardonic in how, even though his father requested of him in the death letter Victor be a comforter to the family in this time of great mourning and distress, Victor himself was overwhelmed with guild over the death of William, which also suggested that he was sort of the "accomplice" to the murder from a standpoint. Another moment of rationalization was when Justin, the accused and condemned from weak pints of evidence and witness accounts in the trial for William's death, had to rationalize for her life, in defense, and explain her innocence to the family, the jury, and her accusers.
The Frankenstein family tried to rationalize for justice, which demonstrated an advocacy upon her behalf, in explaining Justin's angel-like personality and other reasons why she should not be the suspect and accused of such a treacherous murder. Also, one pertinent moment that emphasized Victor's inner plea for relief and freedom from agony and embarrassment.
