"During the short voyage I saw the lightnings playing on the summit of Mont Blanc in the most beautiful figures." (52)
Mont Blanc is the highest peak in Alps. This peak is significant later on the book when Victor and his monster meet near Mont Blanc. Although at a glance it seems that Victor and the creature he created are polar opposites, they end up having a lot in common. Mary Shelley reveals their love for nature, and meeting near this peak in the Alps illustrates a passion they share. However, Victor goes into the wilderness to escape from all of his troubles while his monster goes out of the public eye to try and soothe his feeling of rejection.
