The tone of the passage is somber. Many of the sentences related to darkness and being afraid. In the middle it switches to a more lighthearted tone due to the fact that Frankenstein’s monster is now walking in the light of day instead the bleak of night. ”One morning, however, finding that my path lay through a deep wood, I ventured to continue my journey after the sun had risen; the day, which was one of the first spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air.” (Shelly 129) It switches back to a somber tone when the monster saves the girl and instead of being thanked is rewarded with being run away. Shelly says, “I sank to the ground and my injurer, with increased swiftness, escaped into the woods.
