As said by Foster, spring is associated with “childhood and youth” (186) because of the new birth of flowers and nature; however, the birth of Frankenstein’s creation takes on the day of a “dreary night of November” (Shelley, 56). This quotes foreshadows hardships on the life of the creature because of the on a “dreary night”…
