In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," the term "Genevese" refers to someone from Geneva, Switzerland, which is the home city of the protagonist, Victor Frankenstein. The use of "Genevese" emphasizes Victor's background and cultural identity, contrasting with the creature he creates. It also underscores themes of isolation and belonging, as Victor grapples with his responsibilities and the consequences of his scientific pursuits. The setting in Geneva serves as a backdrop for the moral and ethical dilemmas explored in the novel.
