Why does Robert Walton want to go to the arctic in Frankenstein?

At the end of Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein was being chased by his creation because it wanted to know if it had a soul. The Doctor had been chased all over the world and ended up there to get as far away from the monster as possible.


How does Victor Frankenstein die on the book?

It is likely because he had been exposed to the artic climate for an overly long period of time and was unable to recover from it.In the original story by Mary Shelley the monster doesn't die, he merely says he will run away to the farthest shore. In the book the monster was quite intelligent. Doctor Frankenstein, the man who made the monster, dies of exhaustion chasing and trying to kill the monster, on the ice bound ship trying to find the North Pole (or the North West passage.)


When did the author of Frankenstein die?

He died when Dr. Frankenstein's lab exploded.In the original book the monster didn't die, merely took himself way to the 'farthest shore.' In the movies he has died several different ways. In the original movie he was burned to death in a wind-mill.The monster dies, in the book, after killing himself with the corpse of Victor. He kills himself on a pyre (a pile of burning material, especially a pile of wood on which a dead body is ceremonially cremated).If you read the book, you will know that the creature never died. The characters that died were Victor's mother, his brother William Frankenstein, his friend (and servant of their house) Justine Moritz, his friend Henry Cerval, his wife Elizabeth Lavenza, and Victor Frankenstein (the protagonist). Most of which, besides his mother, were either killed by the monster or because of something he did.


Was Frankenstein was one of the sailors?

No, he didn't even come onto the ship until he was too sick to really do anything and when he got better he died trying to stand up after he saw the monster he had created.


Why Does the monster seek revenge on Frankenstein In Frankenstein?

The novel Frankenstein addresses a couple of themes, one of which is the Nature vs Nurture controversy. Mary Shelley sides with the nurture side of the argument: that people are not what their genes dictate but how they have been trained. Because Dr. Frankenstein deserts his creation as the moment of it 'birth' and because the monster encounters rejection in all his attempts to establish family and friends it turns hostile.
