Connotation

"Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them; and, forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy." - pg. 101

This is the second or third time in the novel that Frankenstein has been positively effected by the coming of spring. It seems like the creature and his creator both forget about their troubles and enjoy the weather each time  the birds start singing and grass begins growing. Those troubles aren't insurmountable quite yet apparently, because soon not even nature carries a connotation strong enough to overcome the grief and anguish. The different season carry different connotations throughout the novel. Winter is cold and desolate, and it leaves Frankenstein and the creature in very low points of their life. Once spring rolls around, their attitudes become brighter along with the days. This sense of happiness and life is why Frankenstein escapes into nature for a short adventure. He wants to get away from his life - and he thinks the beautiful scenery is the perfect anecdote to relaxation and joy.
