In the novel Frankenstein, the author, Mary Shelley, implements a prevalent 19th century structure called epistolary within a narrative framework to introduce a sublime story. Through Robert Walton's letters to his sister, the life story of Victor Frankenstein and the monster's interjection, the author offers multiple perspectives to the plot. By allowing each character to share their story which all contains different points of view, it keeps readers interested and informed. Through the three contrasting narrators, Shelley reinforces the characters' roles as they convey their emotions and express their personal thoughts respectively. Walton's letters to his sister, Margaret, frame Victor's main story. He opens the story by recounting his quest for an unknown country to compensate for his past failures and ends by mourning the loss of a friend. Giving the background to his expedition, Walton explains the cold, bare winter environment he is stuck in and the obstacles he faced. A few moments later, the author introduces Victor, whose “eyes generally have an expression of wild nature, and even of madness,” and who was frantically searching for his fleeing monster (21). He boards the ship and shares his story with Walton before dying. Not only does Walton's contribution serve as a framework, but he highlights similar characteristics between Victor and himself. Their lives are parallel in which they have both been isolated and ended up turning away from their goal due to their high ambition. Strong in their will to continue despite their opposition, they focus solely on the pursuit of the unknown and gradually exempt themselves from the world. Upon meeting Victor, the epistolary changes to Victor's narration that Walton ...... middle of paper ...... result, when the monster murders his companion, Victor becomes miserable and more isolated. Although the monster had no choice but to live alone, he observed a close neighbor, the Delaceys, and wished to receive affection from this family. By the end of the novel, Victor and the monster were no longer indistinguishable from each other, both comparable to Satan from Paradise Lost. Through the use of Shelley's narrative framework, the reader was offered multiple perspectives on the same text. Because of the multiple points of view, readers change their attitude and look for deeper meaning behind the narrative framework. Frankenstein's story was linked to Walton's in the same way that the monster was linked to Victor's tale. By using Walton as the main narrator, the author builds suspense and presents readers with more details about the narrators, their emotions, and their motivations..
