Nature's Influence (Victor)

Besides the company of Clerval, Victor utterly detests all of humanity ever since the completion of his creation. The creation has opened his eyes to the worst that the human-form is capable of and how it can send one into the deepest despair. In Clerval, Victor sees a longtime friend that embodies much of what Victor used to be before his creation was completed. Clerval is eager to learn and strives to experience the world and all of its social nourishment. Victor seeks the opposite; he desires nature's isolate beauty and judgeless scenery. Throughout their travels in Switzerland and the U.K., we see Victor breathing in nature's prfound imagery. He uses his surroundings as distractions in order to procrastinate his work of creating a female partner for his creation.
