Parallelism is a repetitive quality that makes a sentence or sentences symmetrical and therefore very memorable for the reader. Parallelism makes the idea easier for readers to process because they sense a pattern and know what to expect. Character-wise I’d suppose that when one character parallels the other, they are very similar yet somewhat different.

# data[].attributes.body
Characters:    Robert & Victor

Similarities: Both Victor and Captain Walton crave glory. They both long to make some valuable contribution to the human race and to be remembered forever, held up as heroes who accomplished something that no one ever had before.

Differences: Walton is able to learn from Victor's mistake, while Victor was never able to repair his life and make amends. Instead, he became obsessed with revenge. Walton will not follow Victor into that destructive state.

1) When I first think of parallel, I think of the things being compared to each other as being very different in nature from one another, kind of like polar opposites. I also think about how in many other stories there are parallel characters that meet and often form unexpected friendship or a conflict.

Something being parallel is something that is very similar to another. They may share the same characteristics. They are almost the same but still have nuances. It also makes me think of two stories happening at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
1. When I think of parallel, I think of parallel lines. They are lines that are of the exact same gradient, running with each other but never into each other. When something is parallel to something else, my understanding is that they are very similar, but at the same time, they are not the same.

To me, when something is parallel to another, for example a line- it is so similar yet so different and will never cross paths.

# data[].attributes.body
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of something being parallel to something else is two different people who have the same thoughts, methods, way of thinking, and follow the same path, using the same way to achieve their goal, and maybe even ending up with similar fates, despite them having different goals or upbringing or external circumstance.

I think of something that is similar to the thing it is “parallel” to as they have something in common since “parallel” makes me think of the word “same”. Perhaps it can be able to let us get a glimpse of whatever that is being compared as we might have impressions of the other thing compared and if they are parallel, they might leave readers with similar feelings and impressions.

# data[].attributes.body
1) To me, two things being parallel to each other means that the two things can be similar and different at the same time. Just like parallel universes, the two characters from different universes can look exactly the same but have different personalities.

When I think of something being parallel to something else, I think of two lines, two things that never meet. I also think of parallel universes, somewhere another version of myself may be living a different life.

- Walton is an explorer
- Walton takes risks

Similarities:
- They want glory. They both want to do things never done before, and make a mark on the world.
- They are adventurous. Both leave their homes despite the risk of not returning for a long time, or ever. They embark on journeys that may have no return.
- They crave knowledge. They embark on their journeys to gain more knowledge about the world. They want to gain this knowledge by doing things no one has done before.

Differences:
Robert | Victor
Makes amends | Longs for revenge
Knew when to stop (by listening to Victor’s advice) | Did not know when he crossed the line.

Similarities:
- Both have strong passion and enthusiasm to pursue their dreams
- They both wish to be able to contribute to mankind and be remembered by the future generations
- They have curiosity to venture into the things unknown to them
- They treasure and are affectionate towards their family

Differences:
- Robert has a calm and cool temperament, not acting rashly for his own and sister’s sake
- Victor can have a temper at times and act without thinking. When he devoted his time into creating the daemon, he did not reply his father’s letters anymore and his only focus was his work.

- When Robert had started his expedition, he took note of and appreciated the weather of London. He related it to his feelings of deep promise to return to his sister. This shows that although he is undergoing a great journey, he is still observant and pays attention the happenings around him.
- When Victor was very busy with his research, his eyes were insensible to the beautiful charms of nature. When he is totally invested in his work, he does not care about anything else, which can lead to him missing out on many beautiful and once-in-a-lifetime moments.

The first thing comes to my mind related to the word “parallel” is the parallel line which we learnt in maths lesson. Two parallel lines have exactly the same gradient which means they are extremely alike but they never meet each other (so sad). Many thing are literally parallel in our life, such as the rail way road, the stairs, the zebra lines. They all give me an impression of coherence. HAHA over!

In literature, the idea of parallelism seems to mean that two characters, objects or events are very similar. This can be seen from the examples of Robert Walton and Victor Frankenstein, who share very similar personality traits despite having come from different backgrounds. However, since the definition of parallel lines in Mathematics is “two lines that do not intersect or touch each other at any point”, I feel that parallelism also implies that characters, objects or events, no matter how similar they are, are not entirely the same. If two things were exact replicas of each other, they would be the same line, and not parallel lines. Perhaps this concept of “never meeting” also suggests that it would not be expected, or almost impossible in a real life scenario for two people who seem like the same person to ever cross paths, and literature makes that ironic by making it actually happen.

# data[].attributes.body
When thinking of parallels, I think of similarities. What the two components have in common yet being parallel doesn’t exactly mean being the same as. Hence there are differences as well, be it the scenario, background information or minute details.

# data[].attributes.body
(1) I think of one thing that is similar to another, just set in a different context. For example two stories, A and B, may be parallel in the sense that they share the same basic plot structure: villain kills family of protagonist and protagonist fights back and conquers the villain. However, story A is set in post-apocalypse society while story B is set in modern society.

Part one:

When I think of parallel characters, I think of characters who mirror each other, sharing the same traits.

Part two:

Both are curious and willing to learn. Robert wanted to learn more about the world, and Victor wanted to learn more about the scientific side of life. Both are adventurous, as Robert was brave enough to venture out into the world, while Victor was courageous enough to take a step ahead and attempt hands-on practicals. Both are also very determined. Even when faced with challenges, they managed to find solutions to their problems and solve them with ease. They also have an unhealthy obsession with their passion, with Robert wanting to explore the world, and Victor wanting to learn more about science. Robert had a sister, Margaret, while Victor had an adopted cousin, Elizabeth, thus both of them had someone to grow up with.

Part three:

Robert puts his family before his passion of exploration, while Victor focuses on his passion of science. Robert was somewhat extroverted due to his longing for a friend like himself, while Victor was introverted and focused all his attention on his work. Robert recruited a crew to accompany him on his exploration, while Victor worked in solitude.

Robert: A Thousand Miles — Vanessa Carlton

# data[].attributes.body
First off, I think about the parallel universes/realities that happen especially in comic book universes, where countless different timelines/realities exist in the same plane/space. In those books or shows, the characters that exist in both realities are uncannily similar, as they should be, but wildly different in their personalities or their fates (the things that happened/will happen to them)

But I guess in Frankenstein, it’s very much the opposite between Walter and Frankie. We’ll never know if they look similar, and I don’t think they are, but their dreams and aspirations, although different, are still similar in many ways. In doing so, their personalities and attitudes also draw a close parallel with their determination.

# data[].attributes.body
When I think of something being parallel to something else, I have the impression that they are similar, linked, or correlated. These can be ideas, concepts, objects, people. Parallels are used to draw comparisons, yet at the same time make distinctions. For things that are parallel are not one.

Victor:
There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back
Got One Less Problem Without You

Robert:
Something Like This
Castle on the Hill

# data[].attributes.body
1. When someone mentions something being parallel to something else, it makes me think of two objects following a similar and steady path, but yet these two paths are completely adverse and opposite in nature. This characteristic helps me broaden my mind and allow me to realise that sometimes life has a plan for us and that people can go through very different experiences but they may possibly have similar outcomes or learning lessons.

(4) Similarities

They both strive to discover and explore

Robert
He pitches himself against nature in search for a new northern sea passage. He hopes to enable humanity to have greater control over nature through doing this. He seeks to find happiness and satisfaction through the concept of adventure and claiming control.

Victor
Victor is fascinated by the prospects of science, and he becomes obsessed with the idea of the ‘secret of life’. He went away from his family and had to travel himself to various locations in order to acquire  sufficient knowledge and abilities for the purpose of creating a creature which he had desired to bring to life soon enough.

They both treasure family immensely

Robert
Robert addresses all 4 of his letters to his Sister and hopes of updating her on his situation and giving her peace. He includes much details in his letters and he uses the power of language to express his feelings of affection and longing for his sister. He constantly checks on her well being and makes sure that she is doing good without him.

Victor
Victor talks about his Father, Sister and brothers in much detail throughout the chapters. He expresses his love for all of them and says how grateful he is for all of them. He always goes back to the concept of family whenever he feels lost or in need. He seeks comfort from them and he suffers greatly when he harms them.

Differences

This final decision is what shows the major difference in the two characters: Walton is able to learn from Victor's mistake, while Victor was never able to repair his life and make amends. Instead, he became obsessed with revenge. Walton will not follow Victor into that destructive state.

- Victor is intelligent.
- Victor does not know when to stop (and therefore ends up crossing the ‘line’)
- Victor loves his science
- Victor is superficial. He deemed the Creature to be a monster just because of his outer appearance.

2.Similarities:

Robert and Victor both like taking risks. They are adventurous and they like to uncover the earth’s secrets and delve deep into the unknown. Robert is an explorer who travels into unknown lands and explore new places of the Earth. Victor is a scientist, who delves deep into the sciences, exploring a world of possibilities that have yet to be uncovered.

Robert and Victor both have families waiting and worrying for them back at home. Both of them receive letters periodically, implying that their families in a faraway place are worried for their wellbeing. This also shows that both Robert and Victor care for their family, despite not being physically present. Both write in letters to check in on their family, and both are concerned with their families current situation.

Differences:

Robert explores the world of nature. Victor explores the nature of the world.

Robert likes working in groups. Victor likes to work alone.

Robert is respected as a sailor. Victor work often get ridiculed.

Robert is the one being told the story. Victor is the one telling the story.

Similarities and Differences between Walton and Frankenstein

# data[].attributes.body
The most glaring similarity between both characters is the story of their pursuit for success and glory. It is evident that both of them have failed in life, and they seek to fix that by setting very ambitious goals for themselves: Walton to become one of the first of his age to explore the North Pole, and Frankenstein to create life from the dead.

# data[].attributes.body
Similarities

Victor and Robert are both ambitious people, they crave for knowledge to be greater than most men. They want to acknowledged for their works, maybe even more than their want to know more. Both characters are determined, driven by their thirst for more. To be more, to know more. They want to be remembered and find meaning in life. Both men are smart however lack wisdom.

Differences

Unlike Victor, Robert had someone to tell him to stop, to think with his head and stop following his desire for power. Victor had been sucked too deep into the black hole to get out, in the end he wanted revenge instead of fixing his problems. He ran away instead of facing them. With Victors story about how he failed so badly at life, Robert can learn that he can be ambitious but there is a time to stop. He learnt to use the brain we assume he has

Being parallel means two things that are so similar yet so different. In math, parallel lines are two lines which have the same gradient yet they never meet. Another example is just like in a parallel universe, where two people from different universes may look exactly the same, share the same characteristics, yet having totally different backgrounds, lives, fates, dreams and achievements.

For me, the first thing that comes to mind would be the two things being rather similar in many ways and yet somewhat different at the same time, and that they would never cross paths. They could also possibly be a reflection of each other.

Similarities:

Both of them are ambitious and crave glory. They both long to make some valuable contribution to the human race and to be remembered forever, held up as heroes who accomplished something that no one ever had before.

They both share a real passion for knowledge. They're both fascinated by natural science and the enormous possibilities it opens up for the growth of human knowledge.

Differences:

Walton is able to learn from Victor's mistake, while Victor was never able to repair his life and make amends. Instead, he became obsessed with revenge.

In geometry, parallel lines are similar lines that are next to each other but never intersect. Similar can be said of the use of parallelism in literature and film.

Parallelism often appears in the form of similar character arcs, actions taken by characters, etc. This repetition draws attention to these elements. When two characters are parallels of each other, readers might have a better understanding of the motivations of one of them.
