As Victor journeys to Ingolstadt, how does his mood change?

Victor seems pulled to many of the novel's locations by one of two dueling impulses. When he goes to Ingolstadt, for university, he seems ruled by Enlightenment ideals. He abandons all of his relationships, except for the one with Professor Waldman, while he works on his creation. He is so fixated on his experiment and whether or not he will be successful that he fails to really consider what this creature's life will be like, or how it could affect his or anyone else's life. After the creature comes to life, Victor eventually moves back home to Geneva, and, after the deaths of William and Justine, he finds himself once more susceptible to the beauties of nature. He feels it, again, begin to lift his spirits; now, his aversion to science is extreme and he is receptive to nature's sublimity, feeling it change and better him: this is very Romantic.
