Iwent north—i did not try to hide myself. when a god or a demon saw me, then i would die, but meanwhile i was no longer afraid. my hunger for knowledge burned in me—there was so much that i could not understand. after a while, i knew that my belly was hungry. i could have hunted for my meat, but i did not hunt. it is known that the gods did not hunt as we do—they got their food from enchanted boxes and jars. sometimes these are still found in the dead places—once, when i was a child and foolish, i opened such a jar and tasted it and found the food sweet. but my father found out and punished me for it strictly, for, often, that food is death. now, though, i had long gone past what was forbidden, and i entered the likeliest towers, looking for the food of the gods.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
