The Romantics really appreciated nature and treated as if it was alive. In the novel Frankenstein, there are many references to nature to emphasize its importance, for example, Frankenstein’s creature states, “My spirits were elevated by the enchanting appearance of nature; the past was blotted from my memory, the present was tranquil, and the future gilded by bright rays of hope and anticipations of joy.” This awakening to how beautiful and glorious nature is can only be possible through the openness and clear mind of a Romantic thinker because he sees nature beyond the limits of mechanism.
