∙ 13y agoRobert Walton longs for friendship, because he is very lonely. He ended up leaving everything that he had behind, just to reach his goal (which is to explore the North Pole, its' magnetic properties, and descover a pathway for the countries to get to it). He didn't really have friends on the ship, and he wanted to have a companion he could relate and share his feelings with.
