1. Mortimer takes steps to ensure his aunts are not held responsible for the murders they committed even though he does not condone their actions. Mortimer’s protectiveness of his aunts stems from the affection he feels for the ladies despite the fear that he has inherited the genetic condition from which he believes they suffer. (Various Acts)
