Walton is like Victor in many ways. The main way these two men are alike is with there aspirations to become ever remembered in history for greatness. Walton wanted to be a great poet, yet he only wanted to spend one year one writing his poetry, while Victor wanted to become famous for bringing a being to life. Victor's main flaw is that he believed that he would be able to achieve his goal of bringing inanimate matter to life and that the newly created being would be perfect, even though perfection is impossible because nothing is perfect. Walton has a similar aspect with his poetry, because he barely is able to write any poetry, before he finds his mind on another possibilty that will have his name remembered in history forever. When I look compare these two men the first object or notion i compare them to is the Greek god Janus, because the two faced statue which represents Janus, makes me see Walton and Victor on the statue, with Walton wanting to start the journey on greatness, and Victor is the other side of the statue resembling the person already undertaking the path to greatness and knowing its consequences.
