Walton As A Narrator In Frankenstein

Frankenstein, a novel by Mary Shelley, has three main characters that are also narrators throughout the story of Frankenstein. Many may ask if there is a difference or not between them. I would say yes. The 3 narrators are Robert Walton, Victor Frankenstein, and the monster. They all played different parts throughout the story. In which, each part was unique and important to the part they played. Also, throughout the narrators you got different views and perspectives that helped show the personalities of each character.
The primary narrator throughout Frankenstein was Robert Walton. When Walton was narrating the novel, he was sending letters to his sister, Margaret Saville. His sister, Mrs. Saville, lives in London, England while Robert Walton is on the other side of the earth around the North Pole. Not only he narrated the beginning but he narrated after chapter 24 finishes the novel. Walton’s letters to his sister formed a frame around the main narrative he provided towards Victor Frankenstein’s tragic story. Throughout Walton being narrator, I noticed many things. Walton was a 28-year-old sea captain who is going on a journey to explore the North Pole for passage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
The Monster was assembled and created by several old body parts and random chemicals. Victor was 8 feet tall and strong, but surprisingly his mind was underdeveloped. The Monster was abandoned by his Victor. When the narration transitioned from Victor Frankenstein to the monster, it effects the readers. The readers soon, or at least I did, to feel bad for the Monster and sympathize with him. Frankenstein’s narration was very unique and the most interesting part in the whole novel. The monster’s narration made you think and question yourself, “Creature or Monster?” Without his narration in this novel the reader would never know all the sides to the story and really feel what the Monster was
