Chapter Summaries

Volume One

● Letter one: We are introduced to Robert Walton, an Englishman on an dangerous
expedition to the North Pole. He is writing to his sister Margaret Saville. He talks
about the preparations leading up to his departure and his ambition for seafaring and
desire for glory.
● Letter two: Five months later, another letter is sent to Walton’s sister Margaret. In
this letter he expresses his feelings of isolation and desire for a friend and how he
feels too uneducated to find someone to share his dreams with as he is ‘self-
educated’. This letter is quite morbid and hopeless but also references the Rime of
the Ancient Mariner ‘But I shall kill no albatross’
● Letter three: Four months later, Walton sends out a third but very brief letter. He tells
hi sister that his ship has set sail and how he feels confident yet aware of the
dangers that await him.
● Letter four: Just one month later, Walton sends his fourth and final letter to his
sister. This letter has a shift of form as there are the use of diary entries within this
letter. The ship has been trapped in ice and it is all foggy. The crew members spot a
large distant figure. The next morning they encounter a sledge where only one dog is
still alive and a weak and frail man who looks tired and refuses to board the ship until
Walton tells him that he’s heading north. As time passes, the stranger and Walton
become friends and exchange stories, where the narrative will begin the next day,
ending Walton’s frame narrative and commencing that of Victor Frankenstein’s.
● Chapter one: The stranger, Victor Frankenstein, begins his narration. He tells us of
how he came from a well respected family from Geneva and how his mother
Caroline, who’s father (also Alphonse’s friend) passed away leaving Caroline in
poverty. Two years later she and Alphonse got married and later had children. He
