Justification- Frost admits to killing two people in his narrative. The first, his father, he says that he killed because “I ever thought my father had no affection for her, and used her ill; this induced me to kill him” (337). It seems that Frost sees his father’s poor treatment of his mother as not only a reason for murdering him but as a valid justification. The murder of Mr. Allen, however, has no justification or even real reason, other than he watches over Frost’s estate.
Regret- We see absolutely no regret in Frost’s narrative for either murder he commits, and after his account of how the murder is committed there is no mention of his feelings about it or any sort of remorse. He never mentions the death of his father again or any feelings he has about the crimes he’s committed.
Honesty- Frost, like Mount, seems to be a very honest character, although while Mount’s narrative was honest, Frost seems both honest in his narrative4 and his life. He states that he has a great aversion to both stealing and lies, and the later third person account of his life also states that he was an extremely honest man, refusing to plead not guilty even when instructed to.
