I, the native of a genial and sunny climate
The atmosphere of the third volume of the novel, with the exception of the
honeymoon excursion along Lake
Geneva, has been so far from genial that the reader is enjoined at
this point to recall the original balancing of the novel, in which the
civilized bourgeois world of the Frankenstein household represents the
beautiful against the sublime of Mont
Blanc and the Creature whom Victor encounters there in the second
volume (2.1.5).
