In chapters 6-8 the concepts of peripeteia and anagnorisis cause Victor to go through psychological as he begins defending himself with pushing the blame to the monster, rather than accepting the truth of how he created it. Making him guilty for killing his brother, William. The concept of peripeteia is the turning point in the story when Victor receives the letter saying William was dead. Victor now has to go to the funeral and trials because Justine is accused guilty. This demonstrates the dramatic reversal of circumstances sense he's been with Henry for two years, has forgotten all about the monster and now has to come back to reality and go home to his family.
The peripeteia causes the anagnorisis, which is when Victor sees the monster in the storm, realizing the monster he created is the murderer. Creating the antagonistic character being Victor, emphasizing how Victor is the guilty one in this tragedy.
His psychological rationalization is caused by the peripeteia and anagnorisis because he begins to make excuses for himself by saying people would think he's crazy if he said the monster killed him when really he's trying to save himself.
