The Elements

In the novel Frankenstein I think the best element is atmosphere. I believe that atmosphere is the most effective because Mary Shelley knows how to really set the scene in the novel. For example when Victor was about to bring the Monster to life she set the scene as a dark stormy night that painted a vivid picture in the readers mind. With this atmosphere the whole chapter was erie and there was a suspense present while reading this chapter. The other two elements are effective but I personally feel like if the atmosphere was not set the reading would not be as suspenseful.
