Romanticism and Frankenstein

This is actually a pretty detailed question for this short space. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein uses many elements of both Gothic literature and Romantic literature. The romanticism comes from the direct connections to the natural world. Both the physical and the metaphysical come into play. Victor wants to become a God figure while retaining his human frailties. Themes of death, revenge, and suffering become the thrust of the narrative as Shelly incorporates vast majestic landscapes to represent loneliness and disillusionment.
