TODAY'S DISCOVERIES WITH WALTON AND VICTOR'S DISCOVERY IN

MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN.

Goals are what everyone is propped to achieve in their life span or during a

specific time. They, however, activate and unlock more paths to discovery before

we achieve whatever goal we may have planned; thus, everyone is propped to

waking up and quench their ambitions. The beginning of success is desire, and it is

solemnly on the need to fulfill the desires that result in us having grand ambitions

to discover new roads, paths, and means to achieve our goals. However, grand

ambitions are dangerous as it has an equal threshold of bearing great evil than the

common good it may bear. In Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, Robert Walton

and Victor Frankenstein are pushed by grand ambitions to discover new lands and

understand the North pole while the latter is thrived on creating life scientifically.

Robert Walton is pushed by self-guilt of his past wrongs hence feeling the urge to

rectify them and prove to his family that he gets excellent ambition and desire to

discover the Arctic. His desire goes a mile further to acquire new lands

and gain more respect among people and the future generations that would follow

(Coleman & Jim, 21). Victor, however, is a man that had great ambition from a

young age that by thirteen years, he was reading great books by great scientists of

his era (Coleman & Jim, 21). Due to his ever-yielding desire to create and sustain

life, he held great disdain for natural history. He only recognized mathematics and

natural philosophy as very pure stands of science.

Through his grand ambitions, he graduated from university, where he was

fueled more by his lectures to combining his science knowledge to making and

bringing a creature to life. Just like Victor Frankenstein and Robert Walton, many

people today are driven by many reasons for their new paths of discovery,

including loneliness, sorrow, and grief, need for recognition by people, calamities,

and viruses attacking human nature (Coleman & Jim, 22). With each person having

a different taste and desire, there have been many cheerful and more proficient

discoveries that have helped people run their day-to-day lives, compared to the

negative and harmful ones to human nature.

Significantly, it is through science that doctors and scientists are working all

through the clock trying to grasp the deep meaning of life. Through a good

collaboration in the medical field and the scientific laboratory, there have been a

tremendous discovery and introduction of incubators serving the same purpose as

the human womb making it easier to observe a baby's development in its early

formation periods embryo till its due time in the laboratory (Amadi et al., 210).

There have also been sperms, donors, and scientific laboratories to help them map

down the fusing of the sperms and the fertilized woman egg (Amadi et al., 212).

Although the is no record of an entirely artificial human in the laboratory, leads

show that it won't be long before welcoming an artificial human creature.

Notably, there have been discoveries on ventilators, commonly referred to

as The Life Saving Machines equipment, that is used to help save patients who

possibly find it difficult to breathe on their own (Weled et al., 1). The ventilators

have come in handy in saving many lives in the theatres and the Intensive Care

Unit by ensuring steady oxygen supply to the patient's blood, hence preventing

organ failure and death.

Calamities and viruses have also been sources of scientists' source of

inspiration. Corona Virus, for instance, is among the virus that has emerged

recently and transfigured scientist and doctors to combine their scientist knowledge

and the medical facts into coming up with a proper way of managing the virus

(Singhal & Tanu, 283). When the virus struck in Wuhan, China, in 2020, it killed

approximately 3.12M throughout the globe and infecting more than 148M (Singhal

& Tanu, 285), leaving the whole globe experiencing a lockdown before a vaccine

was announced.

The coming up of the vaccine from different scientific institutions proved that the

human mind is pushed to produce results when faced with a problem or a situation.

The Vaccine-AstraZeneca Vaccine, a product of the University of Oxford (Mahase

& Elisabeth, 1), has helped so far carb the Corona Virus, minimizing the death rate

10 % from its last 70% chance of death once infected with it.

Consequently, wars and calamities among countries have incredibly

fascinated astronomers with a new challenge of establishing new air paths. When

two countries engage in a cold war and a country is served with a national brocade

over the corresponding nation, it is denied safe passage in the said country, forcing

them to look for new paths (Reibaldi &Giuseppe, 135). This has made a significant

contribution to the discovery of drones and spaceships. With such equipment's it

has been easier to answer the questions regarding the solar system and the

formation of other planets (Reibaldi &Giuseppe, 136). With space, exploration

countries can sign a peace agreement and create scientific inspiration among

people throughout the world.

Frankenstein Application Essays practice assignmentsIn conclusion, Discoveries

are prompted by great desires, calamities, and many more reasons born from our

personal goals. Mary Shelly highlights Walton and Victor Frankenstein as two men

driven with ambitions to achieve their goals. However, Victor's downfall is caused

by his great overbearing and obsession. Indeed, grand ambitions are dangerous as

it has an equal threshold of bearing great evil than the common good it may bear.
