Frankenstein's OBSESSED!! TAKE NOTE WALTON!!

"Unhappy man! Do you share my madness? Have you drunk also of the intoxicating draught? Hear me,- let me reveal my tale, and you will dash the cup from your lips!" pg. 12--parallelism to vicc

I thought this sudden utterance from Victor spoke volumes about the parallelism that is very much illustrated in victor and Walton. They both have sisters that they are very close too...some closer than others. Well, okay Victor's "sister" isn't really his sister they are more like lovers and Elizabeth is adopted. ALso I found this quote especially fitting because of the fact that Victor can clearly see the trait of obsessiveness that has taken root in Walton. The fact that Victor can so easily see this and wants to save him from it speaks volumes of their parallel lives. I do not think it is of any coincidence that Mary shelley first introduced a character so likened to Victor Frankenstein who's last name is the title of this book.
