Foreshadowing plays a major role in Frankenstein. From the beginning of the novel, the reader is able to see that this is not a happy story. Walton's letters foreshadow the impending doom that Frankenstein's story will tell. This adds and detracts from the suspense. The reader is interested in what will happen but at the same time knows that it doesn't end well.
