Introduction to Gothic Elements in Frankenstein
In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Gothic elements such as darkness, mystery, and the supernatural create a haunting atmosphere that emphasizes the moral and emotional struggles of the characters. The story is set in remote, eerie landscapes with stormy weather, echoing the tumult of Victor Frankenstein's mind. As the scientist ventures into forbidden knowledge, the novel explores themes of obsession, creation, and the dangers of playing God. For instance, the creature’s emergence from the darkness is often accompanied by phrases like 'the shadows lengthened' or 'a mysterious glow,' which evoke fear and wonder. These Gothic features serve to heighten the tension and underscore the moral dilemmas faced by characters. When reimagined through fairy tales, these elements can transform familiar stories into darker, more atmospheric tales that explore human fears and morality.
