Question n. 7- What difficult circumstances does Walton encounter when he meets Victor Frankenstein? In the letters that Robert Walton sent to his sisters, there is concrete evidence that he was experiencing difficult circumstances when he met Victor Frankenstein. When Walton's ship was sailing towards the North Pole they encountered thick fog and a lot of ice. Walton's exact words were: "...we were almost surrounded by ice" (8). and he also exclaimed: "...we were surrounded by a very thick fog" (8). Furthermore, while trapped in the ice surrounding them, they saw a gigantic figure proceeding along the ice, which disconcerted the crew because, as Walton had said in his letters, "We were, as we believed, many hundreds of miles away from any land" (8). Question no. 8: How does Shelley emphasize the extreme isolation of the ship? Shelley highlights the extreme isolation of the ship in several ways. In the fourth letter, when fog and ice surrounded the ship, Walton roughly said: "...we saw stretching in every direction, vast and irregular plains of ice, which seemed to have no end" (8). Another way Shelley emphasizes the extreme isolation of the ship is when Walton sadly says, “Yet locked in by the ice, it was impossible to follow its trail” (8). Shelley used words like "endless" or "impossible" to make the ship seem extremely isolated. Question no. 9: At the beginning of his story, Victor Frankenstein suggests that he has something in common with the Captain. Explain. In the last letter Robert Walton wrote to his sister, Victor Frankenstein suggests that he has similarities to the Captain. After spending a lot of time with Walton, Victor breaks down and tells him, "Unhappy man! Do you share my follies... middle of paper... or have you come home so urgently. Question No. 19- How does Victor does he consider himself responsible for the murder of both William and Justine. The night Victor returns to Geneva, he sees the scary monster around the place where William was murdered (50). had he created the monster, his brother would not have been killed The monster framed Justine for killing William by placing his mother's photo in Justine's pocket (56) and the court sentenced her to death for this reason (60). At the end of chapter 8, Victor Frankenstein places responsibility for the deaths by directly saying this: "I saw those I loved spending vain grief on the graves of William and Justine, the first unfortunate victims of my wicked arts" (60).
