Activity Practice weaving fragments of a passage into your own sentences. Read the claim below. Then write two sentences that support this claim using fragments from the passages below. Claim: Ambition and the quest for achievement are recurring themes in Frankenstein. Dr. Frankenstein on ambition: "The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feelings of human nature. I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room, continued a long time traversing my bed chamber, unable to compose my mind to sleep" (43). Robert Walton on ambition: "And now, dear Margaret, do I not deserve to accomplish some great purpose? My life might have been passed in ease and luxury; but I preferred glory to every enticement that wealth placed in my path. Oh, that some encouraging voice would answer in the affirmative! My courage and my resolution is firm; but my hopes fluctuate and my spirits are often depressed. I am about to proceed on a long and difficult voyage, the emergencies of which will demand all my fortitude: I am required not only to raise the spirits of others, but sometimes to sustain my own, when theirs are failing" (3).
Answer for Plato:
While Dr. Frankenstein’s ambitious goal of creating life deprived him "of rest and health," for two years, the creature he creates is so horrifying that he declares "horror and disgust filled my heart" (43).
Walton recognizes that he "preferred glory" over wealth, but he also recognizes this ambition left his spirits "depressed" (3).
