Photograph of Caroline (Beaufort) Frankenstein

Photograph of Caroline (Beaufort) Frankenstein

This image is a symbol of the collapse of the Frankenstein household. The mother, Caroline in the Frankenstein household seems to be the only one holding everyone together, even after her death. When her image is used as false evidence in murder hopes for the family reuniting or staying safe are lost.

Small picture of Victor's mother that was on William's person when he was murdered. Was later used as a means of framing and blackmail to pin the murder on the servant by the creature.

From the text: "She told me that that same evening William had teased her to let him wear a very valuable miniature that she possessed of your mother. This picture is gone, and was doubtless the temptation which urged the murderer to the deed."

Photo/small painting of Caroline was not described in detail, in the novel. Perhaps it could have been a picture in a very small frame.
