Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
"I passed...Lausanne..."71
Lausanne is a city in Romandy. Lausanne was where Victor Frankenstein spent time in a "painful state of mind." He uses nature to calm his senses. The lake in Lausanne is the source of the peace and natural calming: "the waters were placid; all around was calm." Lausanne represents fear, and then peace. The effect of nature on Victor's emotions is a big part of the story. Whenever he needs to relax he chooses to retire to a natural spot.

I really like how you've zeroed in on the locations and geography of the novel -- they are vital to the story's success
