However varied the reasons might be for the phenomenon,
Frankenstein continually reverts to the importance of documentary
evidence to substantiate the truth of its events or assertions. This will
be seen as crucial in the case of the Creature's existence and experiences
(see 2.6.3), of Victor's rectitude as a
narrator (see Walton 1), even of
Walton's day-to-day account of his voyage (likewise contained in letters
"in [his] own handwriting"). The pattern suggests that what is at stake
here is the underlying truth of all fictions.
