2. “Oh! How unlike it was to the blue season of the south!” 152
The color blue represents moderation, calm, and distance. All of these qualities represent what Victor’s home in the south is, compared to the cold icy ocean that his creature led him to. Shelley might also have used this color to represent the feeling that these two places represent. At his home in Geneva, Victor always felt somewhat at ease. But in this cold desolate land nothing is calm or distant. His monster is right in front of him, his thoughts and emotions are only in one place, and his mission is definite.

watch out for ending a sentence with "to" or any preposition for that matter; how else might you reword that second sentence? It feels broken.
