Mont Blanc

Percy Shelley opens his poem, “Mont Blanc” by noting how imperative the human mind is in regard to nature. The first few lines establish a relation that is essential to all life. With these lines alone, Shelley is pulling from many of the inclinations made by William Wordsworth in his poem, “Tintern Abbey”. There is however an expansion made on Wordsworth’s affections toward nature and its aweing power; while Shelley agrees that there is only a small amount of those who can truly grasp the full intention

Nature’s Supernatural Effect on Frankenstein and his monster Nature influences us everyday, whether it is noticed by us or not. However, nature rarely has a supernatural effect on us in comparison to Victor Frankenstein and his monster. Nature controls the plot of Mary Shelley’s book, Frankenstein. The events that happen in the book are seasonally based making it easily predictable. Victor creates the monster in the fall when everything is dying and coming to an end. Victor awakens in

meaning of the object he is addressing in each poem (Portnoy). Shelley often uses concrete images in his poetry to convey an abstract idea. Shelley uses natural objects to represent a symbolic meaning throughout Mont Blanc, Hymn to Intellectual Beauty, and Ode to the West Wind. In Mont

on the deck of a ship named the SS Mont-Blanc. The Mont-Blanc was not a fast ship or a comfortable ship, but it was strong and had a large capacity. Many of the men rolled their eyes at how the ship required especially slow convoys to cross the ocean, but secretly most of them were thankful be sailing instead of handling rifles and bayonets. Dubois doubted that their cargo was standard considering it was war time; everything was unprecedented. Cargos like the Mont-Blanc’s would never have existed

Lightning is a brief flash of electricity with many consequences. Lightning can be scarring, illuminating, and destructive. It is something to be feared and respected. In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley utilizes the motif of lightning to represent the disastrous life Victor Frankenstein to shows how wrong choices can destroy lives. Victor Frankenstein led a difficult life struck by tragedies. Many catastrophes were marked by the appearance of lightning or the indication of lightning and electricity

[3] To put it in my own words, “Mont Blanc, the supreme and magnificent Mont Blanc, raised itself from the surrounding aiguilles, and its tremendous dome overlooked the valley.” [ch. 9] I had thought I saw the monster, but the monster had seen me as well. He confronted me in the valley and told me his life

only has this assumption disillusioned readers, but also it has led many to cripple their perspective and limit their judgment of such poets. A prominent example of the adverse of this assumption is Percy Bysshe Shelley. Shelley, within his ode Mont Blanc: Lines Written in the Vale of Chamouni, proves that romantic era poets are capable of blending romantic ideas with natural sciences enlightenment era thought.

Millennial Themes in The Prelude and Mont Blanc On reading Book VI of Wordsworth's thirteen-part version of The Prelude, I was particularly struck by the passage in which, following his crossing of the Alps, the poet describes "the sick sight / And giddy prospect of the raging stream" (VI. 564-565) of the Arve Ravine as both an apocalyptic foreboding and an expression of millennial unity in his theory of the One Mind: The unfettered clouds and region of the heavens, Tumult and peace,

Percy Shelley encountered in Nature a phenomenon which for him recreated the clear, cognizant thinking unlocked only in dreams. His excursion to the valley of Charmonix in the south of France resulted in the awe inspiring sight of Mont Blanc actively challenging his knowledge of the limits of the human mind, allowing a murky idealism inspired by the philosopher David Hume to come to the forefront of his writing. He questioned outright whether the mountain, or at least his interpretation of
