According to Dictionary.com, Gothic is defined as "noting or pertaining to a style of literature characterized by a gloomy setting, grotesque, mysterious, or violent events, and an atmosphere of degeneration and decay: 19th century gothic novels." In the story of "Frankstein", we read about the death of Victors mother. He calls her death "an omen of his future misery." Her death leads to his obsession with creating life.
