Document Summary

The world of the academy, the ostensible upper authority that tells him his research is old hat . Victor frankenstein, his family and relations, loves and attachments in the social world. The natural world, the alps, nature in all its restorative power; the monster and his world as it is borne of these. Frankenstein is the embodiment of the two natures: responding to our desire for peace of mind, love, the benign, a nature that is alien, remote, isolated. Nature as a metaphor of alienation and isolation.
