At the beginning of this chapter, a letter from his father explains to Victor the circumstances of William's murder. He leaves for Geneva immediately to comfort and grieve with his family. But it is dark when he reaches Geneva and gets close to home, during a thunderstorm and Victor is started to see a large figure peering at him…The geographical description of Victor's native country: “Jura, Mont Blanc, Geneva, Secheron, Plainpalais, Saleve, Alps of Savoy, Belrive…” All these names of places show that Shelley is very precise. At the age of 16 she ran away to France and Switzerland with Percy Bysshe Shelley and in the summer of 1816 she started writing Frankenstein.
