Frankenstein

There are two elements in Frankenstein that is strongly stylized in Gothic. They are isolation of characters and the dark and gloomy settings where they are isolated. A scene where this incorporation is most powerful occurs in chapter three. The scene is: Victor sits in his lab on an island in Scotland alone. He finally decided to refuse the companion with the monster after a long drastically internal struggle. Scenes in this work also contains a sublime nature. It is aimed to make the monster looks more bizarre and frightening. Scenes where the monster appears then creates a really horrible atmosphere for readers. At least I am very afraid of it.

The process of how Frankenstein gets familiar with the monster is dramatic. The first time he saw it was the moment that his brother was killed. After considering where the murderer happened, he soon realized that he created a mortal and evil monster. Then the monster made a promise to him, but I feel Frankenstein is watched during the whole process. That is really uncomfortable and horrible. Also, the monster’s promise makes me feel like it is omnipresent, which makes it even scarier. 

In addition, the monster becomes much more outrageous and frightening when it appears in the dark and gloomy setting. Also, the monster is actually Victor’s tormenter. It is a demon that wants to haunt him until he has his vengeance. More importantly, this kind of terrifying feeling will only occur in Gothic nature.
