Here I have made a Venn diagram to show the similar and dissimilar characteristics between the 3 narrators in Frankenstein: Walton, The Monster and Victor Frankenstein.
This shows how all 3 narrators share a lot of characteristics, but how Walton and Frankenstein have more in common than the Monster. Walton and Frankenstein both share a close relationship with their sisters but also both want to be the 'first' person to find or complete something and because of this they end up sacrificing the lives of those around them.
All 3 narrators are determined; The Monster is determined to get revenge, Frankenstein is determined to find the secret to immortality to avenge his mothers death and Walton is determined to be the first to the North Pole.
All 3 narrators are level-headed but sinister as surrounding all 3 of them are deaths whose fault is their own. Although the Monster is the only being who physically killed people, Frankenstein and Walton let their fellow friends, crew and family members die because of their dream to succeed.
