The Summer of Our Discontent--part 10











Frankenstein, Mary Shelley



"I said...brother of my heart."35


Robert Walton is the main narrator in the book Frankenstein. He is traveling to the North Pole to research the earth's magnetic energy. He has a very romantic way of speaking. He uses very graceful words to describe his surroundings. And loving words to describe the people who are close to him. There is a question of homosexuality that is a factor in the story as well. Robert is always talking about wanting a male companion who understands him like no other, "a brother of my heart." But then again he speaks about everyone and everything in a very poetic manner.
