If you've actually read the short story, you'll notice that when The Misfit starts to explain his father's death that tension levels are raised up.
In “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard,” Gray compares the dead of the little village to famous leaders and poets in order to emphasize <span>the importance of every person</span>
Fire is an important symbol in Frankenstein for many reasons.
1. Dr Frankenstein is compared to a 'modern Prometheus': Prometheus, in Greek mythology, gave fire (which symbolized knowledge) to humans and then suffered an eternal punishment for that. Frankenstein is trying to bring his own gift of knowledge (life) to humanity but his life is also ruined through this process.
2. Fire also is something that has two sides, each that can help or hurt. Building a fire can create warmth and light, but too much of it can cause death and destruction. This is also shown through Frankenstein's creation of the monster. Think of the saying "playing with fire".
(In a more specific instance, when the monster realizes that fire can destroy he uses it as a weapon (burning the villager's cottage) )
3. Fire also represents passion and desire. Both Frankenstein and the monster possess this fire--Frankenstein for knowledge and creation, the monster for acceptance. This fuels both of their efforts through the novel.

Dear Mom,
I hope this letter will end all your worries regarding my stay away from home. Overall, I am fine but the food they server here is of poor quality, especially the lack of vegetable in my daily meals. I remember the good old days where I could eat fresh vegetables everyday when I was still staying in our hometown. But do not worry mom, I’m fine. I will try to eat my daily vegetables when I go outside the hostel to eat. I do exercises daily so you have no need to worry about my physique and please do not worry about me.
Your loving son,
Sumesh
