Question

In Letter 1 of Frankenstein, Walton writes to his sister that “for one year [I] lived in a paradise of my own creation.” What is Walton implying with these words? Explain the implicit meaning of what Walton is conveying to his sister, providing relevant and meaningful textual evidence to support your answer.

Answer 1

I think it means he loves his creations simply because he says he is in paradise and the definition of paradise is heavan and most people love heaven. I am so sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for but it is what I would write

Answer 2

In this case, the expression "a paradise of my own creation" does not in fact describe any concrete "creation." What the speaker is trying to say, in fact, is that his current situation (a seafarer) is one that he himself has chosen. Moreover, the fact that he calls this a "paradise" demonstrates that he loves his life as a sailor and he is happy he made that decision.
