Walton’s letters to his sister form a frame around the main narrative, Victor Frankenstein’s tragic story. Walton captains a North Pole–bound ship that gets trapped between sheets of ice. While waiting for the ice to melt, he and his crew pick up Victor, weak and emaciated from his long chase after the monster. Victor recovers somewhat, tells Walton the story of his life, and then dies. Walton laments the death of a man with whom he felt a strong and meaningful friendship. Walton represents the character through which the reader hears the story of Victor and his monster. However, he also plays a role that parallels Victor’s in many ways. Like Victor, Walton is an explorer, chasing after that “country of eternal light”—unpossessed knowledge. Victor’s influence on him is paradox: on the one hand he exhorts Walton’s almost-mutinous men to set the path courageously, regardless of danger; on the other hand, he serves as an example of the dangers of heedless scientific ambition. In his ultimate decision to terminate his treacherous pursuit, Walton serves as a foil (someone whose traits or actions contrast with, and thereby highlight, those of another character) to Victor, either not obsessive enough to risk almost-certain death or not courageous enough to allow his passion to drive him.

The monster is Victor Frankenstein’s creation, assembled from dead body parts and strange chemicals, animated by a mysterious spark. He enters life eight feet tall and enormously strong but with the mind of a newborn. Abandoned by his creator and confused, he tries to integrate himself into society, only to be excluded by society. Looking in the mirror, he realizes that his physical grotesqueness blinds society to his initially gentle, kind nature. Seeking revenge on his creator, he kills Victor’s younger brother and his best friend. While Victor feels complete hatred for his creation, the monster shows that he is not a purely evil being. The monster’s eloquent narration of events (as provided by Victor) reveals his remarkable sensitivity and benevolence. He assists a group of poor peasants and saves a girl from drowning, but because of his outward appearance, he is rewarded only with beatings and disgust. Torn between revenge and compassion, the monster ends up lonely and tormented by remorse. Even the death of his creator offers only bittersweet relief: joy because Victor has caused him so much suffering, sadness because Victor is the only person he has had any sort of relationship.
