  2. Overview • In a letter to his sister Margaret in England, Robert Walton expresses excitement over his plans to discover a passage from Russia to the North Pole. • He yearns for a friend to share his dreams, despairs, and successes. What he finds is Victor Frankenstein, stranded and nearly frozen on the ice, yet determined to continue his pursuit northward. • Sensing that Walton is a kindred spirit in his pursuit of knowledge and the unknown, Frankenstein offers his history as a moral tale.

  3. Questions: The Letters • 1. Is Walton a reliable narrator? Why or why not? • 2. Is Walton’s goal to “confer on all mankind . . . a passage near the pole” noble or overly ambitious? • 3.
