Sublime
Victor
Frankenstein grew up in beautiful Geneva, Switzerland. Ever since birth, Victor
has been surrounded by sublime nature.
As I see it, the sublime nature in Frankenstein gives the reader a more majestic feeling about Victor Frankenstein’s surroundings and home country. This inspires Victor to create something beautiful, create life, but he ends up creating the most hideous and terrifying monster he has ever seen.
We can also
see that sublime nature is an important in the beginning and the end of the
book. Robert Walton’s ship is stuck in ice. This symbolized being trapped, just
like several of the characters in the book are trapped in something.
Frankenstein is first stuck with his obsession of creating life and stuck with
Mo’s threat about his wedding night. Mo is trapped in this world where he feels
like he can’t be loved and he can’t be approved. Just like the ship is trapped
and stuck, some of the characters are too.
I personally
believe God created the world and the nature in his image. God created the
nature to do what it does. The nature can be awe-inspiring, impressive, and
majestic, and it’s all God’s creation.
