"I shall satiate my ardent curiosity with the sight of a part of the world never before visited, and may tread a land never before imprinted by the foot of man." -pg. 1
An important observation that can be made is the similarity between Robert and Victor. The similarities are supported by the fact that they instantly become friends. Also, Victor trusts Robert very quickly to tell him this story of the monster he created. They are similar in the fact they like and seek adventure and knowledge. Robert is searching for what draws magnets to the north pole. Victor was searching knowledge on how to create life from lifeless matter. The difference, however, is that we know Victor has succeeded. Victor tells his story so that Robert will not carry on his journey and obtain knowledge that can have harmful consequences in the future.
