Frankenstein-POV

"You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accopmanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings" (pg 1). Robert Walton is the first narrator in the story and he speaks through the letters he writes to his sister, Margaret. He is an explorer journeying to the north pole to reveal and understand its mysteries. During his travels, he finds a man emaciated and close to death. He nurses him back to health and the reader discovers that the man is Victor Frankenstein, the person who created the monster. In Walton's letter to his sister Frankenstein tells Walton about his life and what he had done in creating the monster. The story is in Victor's point of view until page seventy. The monster tells Frankenstein what he had done in his life so far and how he had survived by himself. The reader feels more sympathetic toward the creature because he expresses his sadness and misery because of his loneliness.
