The Atmosphere

Atmosphere is a big part of stories that emphasize horror, mystery,and the supernatural.14 In perticular the story Frankenstein uses atmosphere to set the seen for things like the monster awakening and the murder of William. With each of these points you feel as your being drawn into story itself. While reading how the monster was created the atmosphere plays a large part in setting this sort of ominous feel to the whole process.Now I am not saying that the idea itself did not do that , but without the back drop she placed there would not have been a creepy atmosphere that sent chills up people's spines. The atmosphere during Williams murder though it was not as, I dare say creepy as the monsters creation, played a big part played in slowing how because of everything that has happened to the monster he has lost the last bit of humanity he possessedNot only does that set a atmosphere for that moment, but it sets one for the rest of the story. Even in the last few pages where victor dies it is there lingering in the back of your mind.
