darkness light metaphor

"It surprised me, that what before was desert amd gloomy should now bloom with the most beautiful flowers and verdure. Mysenseswere gratified and refreshed by a thousand scents of delight, and a thousand sights of beauty." pg 81-82

Many times during this novel there is a metaphor where during the darker months, sadness ensues. Yet during the lighter months all is happiness. It even affects the monster who relays such emotions also to Frankenstein. It makes one think that he is not so different from the human race afterall. He feels and has the same reactions to things as Frankenstein did to light and darkness. It was weird to know that something suposedly so disgusting could have the same feelings. Therefore, he is just as developed as humans and should be treated as one.
