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 (II:2:5).
