The journey from the English Channel across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World was rigorous for the one hundred and two religious refugees aboard the Mayflower. Along with the one hundred and two, passengers there were crewmen, chickens, pigs and goats. With limited space in the ship, it was crowed and cramped. Seasickness soon began too many of the passengers onboard, causing the heavily loaded ship to stench.

Frankenstein fulfilled his destiny and made his creation despite his suffering and misfortunes. However, his influence on Walton is paradoxical. One moment, Frankenstein exhorts Walton’s almost-mutinous men to not stray from their path courageously, regardless of danger. The next, he serves as an abject example of the dangers of heedless scientific ambition. Walton serves as a foil to Victor, either not obsessive enough to risk almost-certain death or not courageous enough to allow his passion to drive him. Walton ultimately draws back from his treacherous mission and returns to England, having learned from Victor’s example how destructive the thirst for knowledge can be.
