In the book Frankenstein, how does symbolism come into play when Victor agrees that he owes Adam happiness after listening to his tale?

Sorry for the late answer but..

In Frankenstein, light symbolizes knowledge, discovery, and enlightenment. The natural world is a place of dark secrets, hidden passages, and unknown mechanisms; the goal of the scientist is then to reach light. The dangerous and more powerful cousin of light is fire.
