Heaven
Solution
Answer
The answer is Heaven.
Explanation
Option 1: death
The sun and sky do not symbolize death to the creature in Chapter 17 of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." The creature does not associate these elements with the concept of death.
Option 2: the earth
While the earth is a significant element in the novel, the sun and sky are not directly associated with it in the context of Chapter 17.
Option 3: rain
Rain is not a symbol that the creature associates with the sun and sky in this chapter. Rain typically symbolizes sadness or cleansing, but it is not relevant here.
Option 4: Heaven
In Chapter 17, the creature expresses a longing for acceptance and a place in the world, which he equates with a form of Heaven. The sun and sky symbolize a higher, more peaceful existence that he yearns for, reflecting his desire for a better life and acceptance.
