Inside the story

Meet William

William is Victor Frankenstein’s youngest brother, a child in the Frankenstein family and part of Victor’s close circle. At the story’s outset, he is presented through his place among Victor’s family and friends.

On the page

A SMALL CHILD of about five or six, Victor's youngest brother: sweet-faced with laughing blue eyes, dark eyelashes and curling fair hair, in a boy's short jacket buttoned to high-waisted ankle-length trousers. Child proportions and a child's face; never an adolescent.
