Frankenstein
... old feelings recurred, and I was miserable" (Shelley 74) He also tries to escape the guilt his feel because of his brother’s death. Victor determines to climb to the top of Montanvert, one of the region's massive glaciers. When he sees the mountain it fills him with a "sublime ecstasy"; he believes that human contemplation of natural wonders "gives wings to the soul and allows it to soar from the obscure world to light and joy." He is filled with melancholy as he climbs the mountain. The rain and rockslides, reflects the imperfections of all human dreams and attachments. When he reaches the summit, Victor calls upon all the "wandering spirits" of the dead, and asks them to either permit him to be happy or carry him to his grave. Victor’s ambitious for the creation of the perfect human being leads him into self isolation . After giving two years of his own life to create a new life, Victor is horrified by what he has done as well as disgusted by his creation. His body is consumed with sickness, an unnatural state that matches the task he has undertaken of playing God. During those two years all Victor does is concentrated on his creation he doesn’t see any one of his family members during this time.

He felt he is worthy of love, kindness, and compassion from the De Lacey family. But he only gets the same response from them as other human being give him they attack him . He still maintains hope that perhaps he could associate with the cottagers and make peace with them but he discover that they left because they are afraid that he will return. “My protectors had departed and had broken the only link that held me to the world.
