In the book, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, it starts out with a series of letters Robert Walton, a ship captain, recounts to his sister the progress of his dangerous voyage to the North Pole. Walton encounters Victor Frankenstein and they become good friends while Robert nurses Victor back to health. The story switches to Victor describing a very blissful childhood with his adopted sister Elizabeth. Later on, Elizabeth becomes sick with scarlet fever, and although she gets better, their mother, who nursed Elizabeth back to health, caught the illness and died. It is very interesting to me that Victor with such a bright and happy childhood would have such a dark and horrible adulthood.
