"I found a fire... In my joy I thrust my hand into the live embers, but quickly drew it out again with a cry of pain. How strange, I thought, that the same cause should produce such an opposite effect!" (72)
Fire symbolizes knowledge in this quote. When the monster discovers fire it brings him warmth but also burns. When Frankenstein gains the knowledge of the creation of life it makes him excited, but it burns him later.
