Gevena is the place of Victors home and birthplace. He lives there with his parents, little brother, Elizabeth, and his friend Henry Clerval. It is a place of innocence and childhood before he becomes obsessed with science and creates the monster. Once he does it becomes very glum due to the fact his little brother gets murdered and then Justine is blamed and killed for it. The past history of Geneva as a Protestant hub and the growing number of rich and middle-class British visitors who traveled there during the 1800s largely influenced British opinions of the city.

Chamounix, now modernly known as Chamonix, was the birthplace of “Alpinism” which is the art of climbing high and rough terrain in mountain summits, during all seasons. This began with the first ascent of the neighboring Mont Blanc in 1786, which launched this Golden Age of mountaineering. Chamonix was a place where individuals sought challenge and inspiration for painting, writing and adventure.

Brighton is a seaside town on the south coast of England. It developed as a seaside resort in the late eighteenth century due to the patronage of the Prince Regent, the later George IV, who constructed his Royal Pavilion in the town. It was connected to London by rail in 1841, allowing its tourist industry to expand. In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Lydia Bennet elopes with Wickham from Brighton.
