“Of what a strange nature is knowledge! It clings to the mind, when it has once seized on it, like a lichen on the rock.”

Take note of how Victor's mood was greatly cheered when his surroundings were glorious and the scenery bright and majestic. The theme of nature’s sublimity, of the connection between human moods and natural surroundings, resurfaces in the monster’s childlike reaction to springtime. Nature proves as important to the monster as it is to Victor: as the temperature rises and the winter ice melts, the monster takes comfort in a suddenly green and blooming world, glorying in nature’s creation when he cannot rejoice in his own. For a moment, he is able to forget his own ugliness and unnaturalness.
So nature=escape from reality? Is the wild and the beauty of the ever-changing season's Harold's Wonderland?

The video FITS okay, the helmet-ed kid is enjoying the pretty flowers and it makes him happy. It's not his fault he's retarded, jeesh. My POINT being that that's what happens to Victor and Harold.
.....get it? It's funny! xD
Pardon me, but what the hell??
That being said, good point. :)
Nature allows both to escape the oppression that either human society or guilt places on them.
very good point.....
at least your videos have a point and are not retarded like a certain persons in this school that i wont mention the name to....
*cough* ms. cox *cough*
I would kind of agree, but I would say that personally the nicer the weather the more careless and productive I get. Whats the point in doeing anything when everything is perfect?
ohhh and by productive i mean less productive.....ooooops
I concur
I think spring gives the monster his first real view of beauty and is a real contrast to the cold, harsh, dark winter. This also gives the monster his fist view of change. This gives the monster hope that he can change from the cold, lonely, hideous figure that he is to something nice, and beautiful like spring. I think that is why he is so happy when spring comes.
