The Summer of Our Discontent--part 14

Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
"Several hours passed...quiet moon." 141


This is another graceful example of the romantic language used throughout the book. The description of the "moon" and the"wind" as "quiet," peaceful, and gentle exemplifies(I came up with this word all by myself :D) a very romantic way of thinking. The effect of nature on the senses is a strong influence of the emotions that are evoked through the language in romantic literature.
