Critically analyze Frankenstein as a Gothic Scientific fiction.
Gothic Fiction:-
The term Gothic fiction refers to a style of writing that is characterized by elements of fear, horror, death, and gloom, as well as romantic elements, such as nature, individuality, and very high emotion. These emotions can include fear and suspense.
The principal aim of any gothic novel is to evoke terror by exploiting mysteries and Verity of horror.
Science fiction:-
Frankenstein is often considered the first work of science fiction. What's key is that the science isn't just window-dressing: the whole point of the novel is to explore heavy questions about What It All Means, where "It" can be loosely translated as "science, fate, free will, nature, and humanity."
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein can be read from two main levels; as a science fiction and as human nature. The whole novel moves around the invention of a scientist and the result of it. Dangerous aspect of experience in the scientific field is the subject matter of the novel.
The protagonist Victor Frankenstein is a scientist and driven by ambition of scientific curiosity.
His quest for absolute knowledge and power has ended in his own destruction. So the novel shows that thoughtlessness causes destruction to themselves.
The monster, Victor's reaction itself is a kind of scientific achievement around which the whole plot structure is designed.
Monster was ugly and attempts to integrate himself into human social patterns but all who see him dislikes him.
The situation were Victor Frankenstein use body parts to create a monster gives a sense of terror and the idea of creating life is just unbelievable and terrifying.
Supernatural Elements:-
The narrator describes the coming into life of the monster: I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
Frankenstein also has a certain spiritualism and you could say that Mary Shelley wants to give the reader a kind of warning and teaching through the death of Victor's brother William and the tragic events that the Frankenstein family experience due to this fatal experiment: the monster, his own creation.
Conclusion:-
Frankenstein is an example of a gothic novel. In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the Romantic, Gothic and Science Fiction elements are combined to create a mysterious and supernatural novel.
