They are complete polar opposites. Sheila cynical statement ‘People always get on when they’re tossed in together. I’d hardly call that friendship.’, reinforces that Bridie and Sheila initially formed a friendship out of desperation to survive, not because there was mutual affection for each other. Bitter tone is utilised to convey Shelia’s survival instincts are prioritised over tender friendship.…

    Loss of Companionship in Frankenstein

    The first example of the lack of friendship is portrayed when Robert Walton is writing a letter to his sister and he says "I have no friend, Margaret: when I am glowing with the enthusiasm of success, there will be none to participate my joy; if I am assailed by disappointment, no one will endeavor to sustain me in dejection" (4). Robert feels totally alone and while he is secluded in the northern oceans there are not many people that he can make friends with. However, like some sort of miracle a man floats up beside his ice-wedged vessel and inquires about their current destination. After he boards, they learn that he is Doctor Frankenstein and Robert proceeds to write down his life story, or his biography. During this writing process, which took several weeks, Robert becomes very intimate with Victor 's life and gains a friend. The actual loss of this friendship does not occur until much later in the story after Robert continues the narration. Shortly before Victors death, Robert questions "Must I lose this admirable being? I have longed for a friend... but, I fear, I have gained him only to know his value, and lose him" (157). This friendship is an excellent example because it covers the entirety of the book from the first chapter to the last and even though Robert only knew Victor for a few…
