From the Introduction to Frankenstein His success would terrify the artist; he would rush away from his odious handiwork, horror-stricken. He would hope that, left to itself, the slight spark of life which he had communicated would fade; that this thing, which had received such imperfect animation, would subside into dead matter; and he might sleep in the belief that the silence of the grave would quench forever the transient existence of the hideous corpse which he had looked upon as the cradle of life. He sleeps; but he is awakened; he opens his eyes; behold the horrid thing stands at his bedside, opening his curtains, and looking on him with yellow, watery, but speculative eyes.

    The answer is: the dark world of the supernatural.

    During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Gothic literature involved romanticism and horror elements, such as dark and decaying scenes, supernatural creatures, and curses or oracles.

    In this way, the excerpt from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" contains a gloomy atmosphere, a dreadful monster and the horrific thought of its creator, who perceives something bad to happen.
