Reflecting upon Romanticism as a reaction against the Industrial Revolution's grave neglect of the environment, Shelley advocates nature's capacity to provide spiritual renewal regardless of humanity's flaws. Initially, the composer conveys the consequences of Victor's profound ambition, as she prefigures his exclusion from the natural world; shown in his emaciated appearance in the imagery of "so thin and pale". However, despite Victor's vast preoccupation in science, his eventual return to the sublime natural world in Chamounix is able to evoke his spiritual renewal as Shelley depicts this in the pathetic fallacy of "the flowers of spring bloomed into the hedges." Here, Shelley draws a literary allusion to Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey where the responsible adult also recognises that nature will always welcome man's return to "sober pleasure." This spiritual invigoration is further mirrored through Monster's affable encounter with spring weather, which similarly "restored (him) to some degree of tranquillity"; therefore demonstrating the indivisible temperament of nature to humanity and its indelible capacity for spiritual enlightenment.

In stark contrast to Shelley's discourse, Scott's manifestation of a bleak industrialised macrocosm is his suspicion that technological progression has already discerned man's divergence from nature. In the film's opening sequence, Scott portrays his dystopian society through film-noir style of perpetual darkness, where the superficial world's only source of illumination is from the synthetic glow of neon lights. Moreover, the composer's representation of a world usurped by technological expansion is symbolised through the absence of authentic fauna and their incongruent substitution with artificial owls and snakes. Responders further construe through Rachel's high-modal dialogue, as she indubitably validates an owl's artificiality "Of course it is", that Scott denigrates the Reagan Government of his time for its political inaction towards environmental concerns.
