Frankenstein #3

In Frankenstein, the character Frankenstein begins his story in a similar manner to that as the way that Walton did this book. Mary Shelley created yet another parallel between the two. Frankenstein creates a mood through the telling of his childhood and all those people in his life that truly seemed to mean so much to him as have an incredible impact on who he was as a child and adult. As Walton did, he told stories and many informatory ideals that people in his life had. This theme seemed to carry on in his life up until the point that he seemed to be corrupted by some didactic literature that he managed to find. The theme of his life then seemed to point Nd aim towards being the one to find out things for himself rather than listen to his father who is much wiser a s older than e. he mentions reading this literature with high hopes. He builds up this concept that he is right because of the learning that he was willing to do in his own. Once he goes to secondary college, he finds himself willing to listen to those that agree, or even more, understand hy he has been thinking in a certain manner for so long. This alters his ultimate career path and pushes him to begin delving in what many cannot fathom. The spark of life. Upon this discovery, his ignorance shines through on many levels when he fools with more than he can handle and creates a monster on accident. In this moment, Frankenstein seems to begin the understanding that life is more than self. He thinks to himself, "the beauty of the dream vanished, and a breathless horror and disgust filled my heart,"(35). What was he thinking in delving so far into unknown matters? Perhaps we will find out.
