"The pleasant sunshine, and the pure air of day, restored me to some degree of tranquillity;". (104)
In the novel, sunshine or light is a representation of knowledge and power. The significance of this is that knowledge can be a public thing. And like things in the light, they are out in the open to be discovered. Throughout Frankenstein Mary Shelley has Victor take advantage of seeking new knowledge.
