Gothic Literature Element

I believe that Supernatural is the most effective element in the Gothic Literature in Frankenstein. I believe that the story is based on this supernatural being that was created by a man who does not understand his own works. The biggest supernatural event is definitely when the monster comes to life. Victor does not know what he created and assumes it as a terrible monster. Creating life from nothing is the event that forms the base of the story and if this would not have happened then the story would lose a major character that affects every aspect of the story. If the monster had not been brought to life then Victor, the main character, would have possibly gone into a depression and withdrew from his family even more. The story would take a short turn and there would be a loss of interest.
