Within Frankenstein’s Prologue one example of foreshadowing is hidden in between lines. Walton discusses how lonely he is during the journey, that he has no friend, and wishes for one. I believe this refers to Victor Frankenstein’s sense of loneliness that lead him to create his monster. After reading Chapters one and two, I can tell that Dr. Frankenstein and Ralph Walton are very similar men in the area of friendship, or lack thereof. They are both very close to their sisters, and no one else. I believe the loss, or lack of them, causes both men to search for companionship, Ralph with Dr. Frankenstein, and Dr. Frankenstein with his monster.
