“How do Robert Walton and Victor Frankenstein compare and contrast as men, scholars, and scientists?”
Robert and Victor both share a common desire to find success. Walton is a captain of a ship looking for new routes of travel while Frankenstein is a scientist driven to find the secrets of life. They both lose touch with those around them. Captain Walton says he feels distanced from his crew while Dr. Frankenstein is locked away for months doing his work. Frankenstein’s work consumes him. Once he has given life to the monster her is horrified by its presence. He leaves his apartment and grows ills at the thought or sight of any scientific equipment. Both men are focused on their work and are determined to succeed in their fields of work, no matter how it affects their lives.
