Question

In the book Frankenstein, how does symbolism come into play when Victor agrees that he owes Adam happiness after listening to his tale?

Answer 1

Sorry for the late answer but..

In Frankenstein, light symbolizes knowledge, discovery, and enlightenment. The natural world is a place of dark secrets, hidden passages, and unknown mechanisms; the goal of the scientist is then to reach light. The dangerous and more powerful cousin of light is fire.
