Gothic novels emphasize horror, mystery, and supernatural. Of the three elements of atmosphere, action, and supernatural I think the most effective element to create the gothic mood is the atmosphere of the story. I think that if you have a good atmosphere which really gives the reader a picture of what is going on and what everything looks like it helps create the mood the writer try's to convey. In Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein she does a really good job of showing horror, supernatural, and mystery through her atmosphere. She creates the mood of horror, mystery, and the supernatural when she describes the atmosphere around Victor while he is creating the creature. Also when she describes the creature. She creates a atmosphere of horror and mystery because with the details she uses to describe the creature you can try and imagine what it looks like, creating this horrorful, scary looking man like figure in your head. I think the a good atmosphere is what helps Mary Shelley create the gothic and scary writing she is going for, and will play a big role in other gothic works of writing.
