Sisterly Loveo

"Adieu! my cousin; take of yourself; and, I intreat you, write!" pg 43

Awww Victor's sister misses him, how sweet? Walton writes to his sister, but Victor's seestor (Borat style) writes to him. This is an attempt to show the reader how close the two are with each other. Also, the parallelism between the men and their sisters brings out a significant tie with the story. Both recognize that they are lonely and seek companionship with family members. At this point in their lives, family is the only thing they can turn to. How sad? But the truth is the truth and the relationships reveal much about their character.
