Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was written with the theme of the desire for knowledge at the heart of the book. Many of the characters in the book are in search of knowledge, whether it is the knowledge of how to break the cycle of life, or the ability to read and understand, or even to know what is at the North Pole. Robert Walton is one of the characters who falls victim to this thirst for knowledge. Robert Walton's quest for knowledge in Frankenstein leads him not only to discover the dangers that come with his hunt for knowledge, but also to learn a lesson about his own limitations. Robert Walton begins the book by writing to his sister and telling her about his journey to the North Pole, he was afraid of her leaving because he didn't want her to be in any danger. He is writing these letters to his sister and describing his feelings about the North Pole exhibit, from the way he writes them it is obvious that he is enticed and seduced by the idea of ​​learning more about the North Pole. She says: “I feel a cold northern breeze touching my cheeks, which strengthens my nerves and fills me with joy. Do you understand this feeling?" (1). The North Pole perceives him with tantalizing sensations of the unknown that fuel his need to continue his mission of exploration and acquire all the knowledge about it. Walton continues his journey north and writes to his sister, where he informs her that his ship had been covered in ice the night before, so they had been unable to move and then the next morning he finds a crew member talking to a man off the side of the ship of their ship which was stuck on a piece of ice floating in the ocean. This man was emaciated and covered in dirt and dirt. He spoke briefly to Walton about a "demon... middle of paper... all the people involved and who love Walton, he's not just putting. endangering his life, but he is also endangering the lives of other people." and also causing emotional distress to the people who love him, like his sister. He has learned the dangers that can come from continuing his quest for knowledge, but the real lesson he learned from Frankenstein's monster is that this conquest to acquire knowledge of the North Pole was not worth the possible dangers that could arise from it. Learn that it has limitations when it comes to research; he was unwilling to go against his crew's command to turn back if they were freed from the ice, and this shows that he has learned a lesson about his own limitations. Ultimately, the message to take away from all of this is not to go in search of knowledge expecting that everything will go perfectly and that there are no dangers that could come from it..
