As stated before, a big theme in this book is adventure or discorvery. Young Frankenstein is obsessed with learning all about science. Although he is unaware that all he is eagerly absorbing is outdated according to the world he lives in, he finds the dreams of the ancient philosophers to be captivating. This is mirrored in the captain's desire to explore the north pole. Both were eager to do something that no one had been able to do up until that point. Both were hungery for adventure. The reader, however, gets the feeling early in Frankenstein's story that his dreams of success might not have ended up so well by the tone with which he speaks.
Enjoy!
