Foreshadowing

There is a plethora of foreshadowing in this novel. Victor is very fond of the term "fate", which alludes to forthcoming information. "Poor Justine was very ill, but other trials were reserved for her (page 41)." Here, Victor is alluding to the fact that she will be accused of William's murder. Obviously, the reader does not yet know of these events, but Victor hints at the plight of Justine in the chapter preceding the telling. This happens a lot, likely to build anticipation for what is to follow. At the end of chapters, he states that what is to come will eventually decide his destiny. This is proven completely true as his thirst for knowledge leads to the creation of the monster and the monster leads to his life's mission to destroy it. Even in the beginning, robert builds anticipation because he makes the reader want to find out what happens with his adventure. From what I hear, it is disappointing.
