"Every one loved Elizabeth."
Victor Frankenstein's family is described as rich, loving, and protective. They show this when they take in an orphan named Elizabeth Lavenza. In the excerpt I have chosen, she is indirectly characterized as being very kind and respectful. The reader can assume this because she is so well-liked. Also, Victor likes her so much that he develops a crush on her, but then realizes that they cannot be together, which makes him sad. They were raised as siblings and Elizabeth was very calm and intellectual. Victor says that he had a greater thirst for knowledge. This is also foreshadowing Victor creating creature out of curiosity and, above all, a thirst for knowledge and discovery.
