Along with nature having the power of healing, Gothic writers gave nature the power of destruction.
Gothic literature put a spin on the Romantic idea of nature worship and nature imagery. Gothic literature was the predecessor of modern horror movies in both theme and style. It was an offshoot of Romantic literature. Frankenstein cannot be misconstrued as real. Up until the Romantic era, writers wrote fiction that read as though it could possibly be real-and was often taken for truth. Frankenstein’s creature (and his education/life) is not a common thing. However, some went a step further and dealt with non-natural things. One common Romantic trait was making ordinary, everyday things seem wonderful and awe-inspiring. Many Romantics (like Coleridge and both Shelleys) dealt with the supernatural. Frankenstein and his creature are both disenfranchised men-the creature because his form keeps him from any human company, and Frankenstein because he eventually feels that he cannot enjoy the company of his fellow men after unleashing a monster among them. Such men, who found themselves unable to live in society, were often revered and/or sympathized with. The idea of the disenfranchised man was also very common. “The weather was fine: it was about the middle of August.The weight upon my spirit was sensibly lightened as I plunged into the precipices that overhung me on every side-the sound of the river raging among the rocks, and the dashing of the waterfalls around, spoke of a power mighty as Omnipotence-and I ceased to fear, or to bend before any less almighty than that which had created and ruled the elements.”. Nature imagery is the most predominant feature of Romantic literature. They sought solitude in nature, believing that the key to all emotional healing could be found in nature. The Romantics were, for the most part, disheartened liberals. The creature is known as “the creature.”. The creature Victor Frankenstein creates does NOT have an name. 
This is the story of Victor Frankenstein. What can you infer the plot of the film to be?. What techniques are used to characterize him?. How is Frankenstein characterized in this trailer?.
