Nature

"It was a divine spring, and the season contributed greatly to my convalescence." (39)

Nature plays a huge role in the emotions of the characters in this novel. The monster is rejuvenated by the coming of spring after a harsh winter in the woods later in the novel. The monster is given life in the winter on a rainy night, which adds to the terror that both Frankenstein and his creation feel. There are times when Frankenstein and his monster need to escape from society and their woes, so they journey into the sublime to ease their minds.
