I resolved to remain silent
As understandable as this resolve is (and, perhaps more important to the
reader, as necessary to the plot line as it may be), still Victor's
silence is fundamentally problematical on moral grounds, constituting
a denial of his own responsibility and, through an absence of candor on
both private and public levels, a failure of essential human sympathy and
justice.
