In Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein is obsessed with pushing the limits of science (creating life), and Robert Walton is on an expedition to explore the uncharted Arctic, also pushing the limits in the realm of exploration. They both have a drive to go beyond what is currently known or achieved.

• Option A is incorrect as Walton is not guilty of theft.
• Option B is wrong because Walton's sister is Margaret, not a romantic interest.
• Option D is incorrect as Walton is not seeking enemies with a yeti.

Answer:

C. Both are seeking fame by pushing the limits: Victor with science and Walton with exploration.
