  • The first character we are introduced to in Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein is Captain Robert Walton. The beginning of the novel is told through a series of letters that Robert Walton writes to send back to England to his sister, Margaret Saville, about his travels. Walton is the captain of a ship and crew that are headed to the North Pole. He is first excited about his voyage north and believes that it will be very successful. That is until his ship gets trapped between impassable ice. While Walton and his crew are waiting for the ice to melt, they stumble across Victor Frankenstein and rescue him. Victor is weak and exhausted from chasing the Creature. Walton and his crew nurse Victor back to health and he recovers enough to tell Walton the story of his life. Walton has longed for a friend and feels as though he has found that in Victor. The crew of Walton’s ship asks to turn around and head home, but Victor convinces them to wait for just a couple days longer. When they come back after two days to ask again to turn the ship around and head home to England, Victor agrees. As the ice begins to melt some and breaks, a path to the south is opened up for Walton and his crew and the ship begins its journey home. Just as all of this is happening Victor passes away and Captain Robert Walton begins to mourn the death of a man with whom he felt a strong friendship had begun to form.
