Supernatural

For multiple reasons, using a supernatural approach is the most effective in writing a gothic novel, such as Frankenstein. The main goal of a gothic novel is horror and making the reader feel a sense of fear for what is happening in the story. It keeps the reader engaged and can also put a sort of "twist" to the plot. Many people fear the unknown and are interested to always find out more. In the book Frankenstein both Victor and Robert are interested to find out more even though they are very intelligent. Victor spent a great amount of time in college studying many sciences such as physiology.With the amount of intelligence he had,  Victor created a mysterious creature.While making the creature, he was very fond of his making, but he later realized what he was capable of and that he had created a " Monster". The monster is the supernatural event in the story and is a major component to the plot.
