"Since you left us, but one change has taken place in our little household. Do you remember on what occasions Justine Moritz entered our family?" PAGE 41
The introduction of Justine comes shortly before her accusation. After being introduced as such a kind and compassionate part of the family, she is accused of a vicious crime. The insertion of her in the letter makes it harder for the reader to believe that she is guilty because of the way she is portrayed in the letter. Justine was taken in by the family after a disappointing family dynamic endangered her. I feel sorry for Justine for everything she has to go through. She first grew up in a destructive family. When she gets involved in a better family that cares for her, she is loved and included. Then her mother selfishly wishes for her to return home because she has been plagued with bad luck. Her mother dies, then she is accused of killing a son like figure. She does not deserve to be treated like this when she has been faithfully devoted to this family.
