Moon

"for the winds were hushed, and all nature reposed under the eye of the quiet moon." (121)


The monster usually comes out at night because it is dark and people are not around. The comfort and warmth people get from the sun he gets from the moon. This quote foreshadows that the monster is quietly hiding somewhere, ready to disturb Frankenstein's wedding night. Mary Shelley gives the moon in this quote personification because it is the quiet monster.
