Comparison of description and literary symbolism

Comparison of description and literary symbolism
            In Mary Shelley’s description, the Mont Blanc was the solemn silence of the glorious presence-chamber of imperial Nature was broken only by the brawling waves or the fall of some vast fragment. She descripted the Mont Blanc as a very quiet place and it is a place with the power of nature. In Percy Shelley’s description, the Mont Blanc was a place with a lot of meaning, such as the life and the death. It is the mountain that connect with Nature and Humans together. Mary Shelley’s description connect to the Romanticism by the Dream and the Imagination of Frankenstein. He felt the greatest consolation from these sublime and magnificent sense. And when he slept, he dreamed these scenes. Percy Shelley’s description connect to the Romanticism by the beautiful scenes and the imagination. He used many imagery to show the power of nature, the life, and the death. It said that human was as similar as the nature. But it also showed that nature has much stronger power than human.
