“The Quest for Glory”
The relentless quest for recognition is a potentially fatal flaw found in Robert Walton and was the eventual downfall of Victor Frankenstein. ... Walton seeks glory and knowledge from his expedition to the North Pole. ... As the leader of an expedition, Walton will be responsible for the lives of many other men, and if he’s careless in his pursuit of glory, he will endanger those men. His hunger for recognition and glory leaves no room for rational perceptions of what is possible and what is impossible. ...
Although Walton finds himself alone and friendless, he’s still passionate about his quest for glory and discovery at the North Pole. ...
Walton and his men have begun their quest, and hes certain that they’ll be successful because they’ve taken care of a few, small problems that have sprang up so far. ... When Walton speaks of his determination to Frankenstein, Frankenstein seems distraught at Waltons ambition. ... Frankenstein recognizes this potentially fatal ambition as the same thing that led to the destruction of his family and himself. This was the same ambition that forced Frankenstein to exhaust himself night after night in his laboratory creating the monster that, when completed, was hideous.
