Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
"We passed...at Oxford" 136
Oxford is a city in the south east of England. The Thames river runs through Oxford. And Oxford is also the location of the well known University of Oxford. Oxford is where Victor Frankenstein spends rather a lot of time sightseeing with his best friend Clerval. Because he was spending time with Clerval there, "rambling among its environs," Oxford comes to represent friendship, leisure, and memory.
