As the reader you’re also being told the story of Victor Frankenstein. The connection between Walton and the reader is simply that they’re learning a lesson through Victor Frankenstein’s story. Mary Shelley, set up this novel to teach the reader a lesson through Walton. At the time this novel was written, Realism and Naturalism were slowly creeping upon the decade. During the Realism and Naturalism times scientific experiments and industrial movements were approaching.
In chapter 10 of ‘Frankenstein’, we are able to see the ruthless nature of Victor’s character through Shelley’s use of language. During Victor’s very first discussion with the monster, Frankenstein says “Begone! I will not hear you. There can be no community between you and me; we are enemies. Begone, or let us try our strength in a fight, in which one must fall.” The duality of Victor can be seen here as in the beginning of the novel, Victor was a committed man who followed the dream of what he loved to give his family the very best.
Victor Frankenstein was an arrogant and ambitious scientist that wanted to play with the powers beyond human understanding and answer the ‘secret of life,’ with his “human endeavour to mock the stupendous mechanisms of the Creator of the world.” Frankenstein effectively achieved this by “bestowing animation on a lifeless matter.” Shelley throughout the fourth chapter expresses the excited and ambitious scientist during the process of seeking his answers, he thought he was about to create “a new species [that] will bless [him] as its creator and source.” However this is juxtaposed with the decline of the individual which is revealed in the next chapter, “Now that [he had] finished” he realised “the beauty of the dream had vanished and breathless horror and disgust filled [his] heart.” By answering the ‘secret of life,’ Frankenstein is forced to accept the consequences from releasing the ‘monster’ on the world. Shelley uses techniques of imagery to describe the unnamed monster “I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then, but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived.” Shelley makes constant references to the physical and emotion price paid as a result of the individual, Victor

Despite the Beast’s ugliness and anger, Belle falls in love with him anyway. This could very much give the monster hope that the same thing could happen to him and that he does not need a female monster to be happy, but his own real life
This is really all the monster wants, and technically, it is Frankenstein’s duty to do so. An example of this is when humans want to reproduce and have children. As being the children's creator, they must provide for them and the accept the responsibility of caring for their children. The monster makes a bargain with him saying that he will leave forever if Victor provides a female equally hideous. At first, Victor says no, however, after hearing the monster's explanation of having a companion, he agrees.
Through the use of passage we see how Peter Goldsworthy takes Paul on these journeys to make important realisations about humans, ideas and himself. Adolescence to adulthood is a journey Goldsworthy depicted and takes Paul on to make important realisations and developments. As Paul is an adult looking back on himself as an adolescent we can get insight into how he has changed and learned from the mistakes he has made.
