The Summer of Our Discontent--part 15




Frankenstein. Mary Shelley

"But it was augmented...race of beings."86


The Alps are a mountain range that stretch through Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Lichtenstein. These mountains are where Victor expects his creation to be hiding. He wants his creation dead more than anything. The mountains represent fear, hiding, and foreboding. Victor wants to kill his creation but he is scared of it. The mountains also symbolize surreal beings and heavenly qualities in this quotation.
