Frankenstien chapter 8-11

In these chapters, victor and Elizabeth try to prove Justine's innocence but can't and she ends up confessing and being excicucted. Victor, feeling sorry for himself as usual, goes to Mont Blonc. The largest mountains in the alps. He stares at these mountains and starts feeling better from the awesome, sublime view. Merry Shelly and Percy Shelly describe the mountain as glorious and awful. This connects to Romantisism Mosley by the connection to nature and how awesome the writers say it is. The emotions felt when looking upon this magnificent view are outstanding and indescribable. And they cause people to feel insignificant and small. Seeing these mountains is a great example of encountering the sublime. This view is so incredible and breathtaking to Victor that he feels his problems go away as he looks up at Mount Blonc. But that only lasts until he sees the monster.
