Frankenstein, Mary Shelley"of the town of **** ...deposited the corpse." 148
The stars that are shown here are either an indication of secrecy or of a forgotten name. The mention of a corpse suggests secrecy but as it's a story, the teller might have forgotten the name of the town. It is Frankenstein's creation that is telling the story. Frankenstein's creation does not seem to have any real reason for not telling his creator where he buried said corpse. The stars symbolize secrets and forgetfulness.

I like how you are making connections between the author's omission of a specific name and the themes of the novel -- to suggest that Shelley was adding emphasis through these little details
