"Frankenstein"

One theme I noticed from Frankenstein is that of the influence of nature. It seemed to me that whenever Frankenstein was exposed to natural scenes of beauty or, for the most part, connected to the world around him, his life seemed to be more enjoyable and he seemed quite happy. Conversely, it seemed to me that if Frankenstein disconnected himself from the world around him (e.g. if he stopped paying attention to his friends and family), things only got worse. The entire tale of Frankenstein seemed to change back and forth between these two phases.
