Hebry Clerval in Ch. 18-20 of Frankenstein

Henry Clerval poses as Victor Frankenstein's jusxtapositon. Although limited to what he can do, Clerval is able to ejoy life and entake his surroundings with pure insight. Victor on the other hand has every possible opportunity available to him, but is tormented by the sinister decisions he has made during the course of his life. While Victor is a dark charcater in the book Clerval is able to bring some innocence and joy to the book. His image of a nice and loving friend portrays him as Victor's white spirit. Clerval is an extention of Frankenstein, someone he will never be; essentially Clerval becomes Victor's clean concience fighting against the devil on the other shoulder. After Clerval's death a huge deal of Victor's conscience dissapeared. There is not a single light that may gleam on Victor's case that would make him seem normal and happy. Those days are over with Clerval; the days of exploring nature and loving life are over.
