Question

As Victor arrives in town, he sees a carriage and feels compelled to stop. His friend, Henry Clerval, gets out. How does Victor react to seeing Henry? Why does he feel this way?

Answer 1

overwhelmed with joy and happiness.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Victor sees Henry Clerval alighting from the carriage he is overwhelmed with joy and happiness. Victor says that nothing could compare to the joy he felt on seeing his old friend after so many months of horror and misfortune.

Victor feels this way because he has been in complete horror and misfortune for so long. When he sees Henry, he is filled with the memories of his father, Elizabeth, and his sweet home. He treats Henry with the most welcoming and warn gesture.
