Gothic is a huge theme in this book. I see death having a lot to do with the Gothic theme and this book basically revolves around the cycle of death. Victor Frankensteins mother died, creating what Victor considered an "omen". His passion of creating life out of death became an obsession and after a long time reading and talking to professors, he created an 8 foot tall creature whom he despises right off the bat and does everything in his power to stay away from. Because of the creatures isolation from the world and hatred from everyone, he learns to hate as well, and seeks revenge on his creator. Frankenstein kills Victors brother, and because of this, Justine is killed as well because Frankenstein framed her, and she was accused of the murder.
