Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
"When I was...Belrive..."45
Belrive (which is usually known by the spelling Bellerive) is a small area that is located near Lake Geneva in Switzerland. It is very close to Victor Frankenstein's home. He uses it as a reference point when speaking about the location of his home. It is standing at the door of his home where he very first witnesses the wonder of science that urges him to pursue his future endeavors. He sees a tree hit by a bolt of lightning that bursts it into smithereens. Belrive represents home, science, wonder and childhood. Victor almost always refers to Belrive when he's talking about his childhood.
