This is a map of all the places that Victor Frankenstein visited in his journeys in the book, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley.
- Naples: Frankenstein was born in Naples Italy
- Geneva Switzerland:"- the sublime shapes of mountains, the changes of me seasons, tempest and calm, the silence of winter, and the life and turbulence of our Alpine Summers --" (Shelley 43).
- Belrive: "the in clemency of the weather obliged us to remain a day continued..."(Shelley90).
- Thorson:
- Ingolstadt Germany:" It was a most beautiful season; never did the fall bestow a more plentiful harvest or the vines yield a more luxuriance Vintage; but my eye went insensible to the charms of nature" (Shelley 66).
- Lausanne: "I Contemplated the lake; the water was placid, all around was calm and the snowy mountains the place of nature'; were, not changed "(Shelley 91).
- Mount Blonk/Jura: "Your summits are clear, the sky and the lake are blue ans placid" (Shelley 91).
- Sechuron: "The sky was serene..." (Shelley 92).
- Mount Saleve: (Shelley 94).
- Chamounix: (Shelley 117).
- Mountanvert; (Shelley 121,122)
- Rhine:"The course of the Rhine below Mayence becomes much more picturesque. The river descends rapidly, and winds between hills, not high, but steep, and of beautiful forms. We saw many ruined castles standing on the edges of precipices, surrounded by black woods, high and inaccessible. This part of the Rhine, indeed, presents a singularly variegated landscape. In one spot you view rugged hills, ruined castles overlooking tremendous precipices, with the dark Rhine rushing beneath; and, on the sudden turn of a promontory, flourishing vineyards, with green sloping banks, and a meandering river, and populous towns occupy the scene" (Shelley 195,196).
- Lucerne: "I have visited the lakes of Lucerne and Uri, where the snowy mountains descend almost perpendicularly to the water, casting black and impenetrable shades, which would cause a gloomy and mournful appearance, were it not for the most verdant islands that relieve the eye by their gay appearance; I have seen this lake agitated by a tempest, when the wind tore up whirlwinds of water, and gave you an idea of what the waterspout must be on the great ocean; and the waves dash with fury the base of the mountain, where the priest and his mistress were overwhelmed by an avalanche, and where their dying voices are still said to be heard amid the pauses of the nightly wind; I have seen the mountains of La Valais, and the Pays de Vaud: but this country, Victor, pleases me more than all those wonders" (Shelley 196, 197).
- London: "LONDON was our present point of rest; we determined to remain several months in this wonderful and celebrated city. Clerval desired the intercourse of the men of genius and talent who flourished at this time; but this was with me a secondary object; I was principally occupied with the means of obtaining the information necessary for the completion of my promise, and quickly availed myself of the letters of introduction that I had brought with me, addressed to the most distinguished natural philosophers"(Shelley 200).
- Oxford; "The colleges are ancient and picturesque; the streets are almost magnificent; and the lovely Isis, which flows beside it through meadows of exquisite verdure, is spread forth into a placid expanse of waters, which reflects its majestic assemblage of towers, and spires, and domes, embosomed among aged trees" (Shelley 203).
- Cumberland: (Shelley 204).
- Cumberland and Westmoreland(Shelley 204,205): "The little patches of snow which yet lingered on the northern sides of the mountains, the lakes, and the dashing of the rocky streams, were all familiar and dear sights to me. Here also we made some acquaintances, who almost contrived to cheat me into happiness" (Shelley 205).
- Orkneys, Scotland: "With this resolution I traversed the northern highlands, and fixed on one of the remotest of the Orkneys as the scene of my labours. It was a place fitted for such a work, being hardly more than a rock, whose high sides were continually beaten upon by the waves. The soil was barren, scarcely affording pasture for a few miserable cows, and oatmeal for its inhabitants, which consisted of five persons, whose gaunt and scraggy limbs gave tokens of their miserable fare. Vegetables and bread, when they indulged in such luxuries, and even fresh water, was to be procured from the main land, which was about five miles distant" (Shelley 206).
- Como: (Shelley 243).
- North Sea: (Shelley 266).
