The perception of setting utilized in Frankenstein is to aid in the interpretation of the mood as well as the consequences of character’s intellect and behavior. Evidently influenced by his passion and ambition, Victor participates in the“collect[ing] [of] bones from charnel houses” and his disturbance of the “human frame”(34). The setting of the charnel house establishes an atmosphere of apprehension along with the sense of an unnatural sinister pursuit, inaugurating the novel’s mood and theme that is to follow. Setting is further elaborated through the presence of Victor’s “solitary” lab from which he keeps his “workshop of filthy creation”(34). Victor discusses the existence of the “dissecting room” and “slaughter-house” (34)
