“The very winds whispered in soothing accents” (Shelley, 68).
Personification plays an important part in the style of authors. Shelley relies heavily on personification to help her better describe what her characters are experiencing. Winds whispering are much more descriptive then winds blowing. (Edit) Shelley personifies nature to better draw a connection between Victor and natural elements. This makes it easier to show Victor's sins against the almighty power on earth.

but what makes it better.. why does she choose to take this approach? what is the benefit? in making the wind a figure, what is the effect on the story?
