Another example is getting a description from just how the character acts and the things they say. The characters in Frankenstein are made to be the foil for other characters. For example, Robert Walton is very much like Victor and the creature, just in different ways. Walton enjoys exploring the world, although,…

However, after being introduced to the popularized theory of nihilism in Russia during the oral discussion, I concluded that the character might…
