Additionally, light implies insight in the Frankenstein Shelley’s novel. Walton imagines to obtain the secrets of the world divulged in the North Pole, which he describes as “What may not be expected in a country of eternal light?"(Shelley, 11), the light symbolizes knowledge into the dark and hidden things, especially in science. Light also accompanies nearly all of Victor's epiphanies. When Victor first discovers natural philosophy, he says, "A new light seemed to dawn upon my mind"(Shelley, 38). Further, when he discovers the secret to creating life, he describes his feelings as if " this darkness a sudden light broke in upon me -- a light so brilliant and wondrous"(Shelly, 52). He envisions pouring a "torrent of light into our dark world"
