Explanation:

Question 1: What details about William’s death do we learn in the letter from Victor’s father?

From the context (related to Frankenstein), the letter from Victor’s father likely conveys that William has been murdered. It would include details like the circumstances of the death (e.g., found dead, possibly in a violent manner), the location, and the impact on the family (Victor is heartbroken). Also, it sets the stage for Victor’s return and his subsequent encounters (like seeing the creature lurking nearby).

Victor is convinced because he created the creature, knows its strength and potential for violence, and he saw the creature lurking near the spot of William’s death. The “actual evidence” is his visual sighting of the creature near the crime scene, combined with his knowledge that the creature is capable of such acts (due to its creation and his understanding of its nature, though this is more of his internal conviction from creating it than physical forensic evidence).

Answer:

The letter from Victor’s father tells him that his little brother William has been murdered, leaving Victor heartbroken. It prompts Victor to visit the spot where William’s body was found, and there he sees the creature (his creation) lurking nearby, which later connects to the investigation and accusations (e.g., Justine being accused).
