Victor saying “the sun is life” means so much more when he proceeds to trap his creation away from it.
“The sun is life.”
And you shall not see it.
Victor thinks so lowly of the Creature, that he deprives him of something as minuscule as the warmth of the sun.
And in trapping the Creature where the sun can’t reach him, Victor Frankenstein practically tells him right from the start that he does not deserve life, nor the simple pleasures of it.
The sun is life.
He thinks the creature has no life.
The final scene of the movie, the Creature is bathed in sunlight.
It’s like he finally understands his value, and knows that he is in fact worthy of the simple pleasures of the world.
