Gothic time

In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein the element that I think is most effective is supernatural. In one of the scences in the book the monster that Victor created scaled up one of the mountins like it was no big deal. In real life this could not be possible. Another example of supernatural in frankenstein is the monster's speed, and strength. In one scene the monster was running so fast in the woods that he was just a blur and Victor, could not see him. And in another scence Victor looked up and notice that something was running up to him so fast, that he did not even know what was coming toward him. All of these factors induced the reader in to the story.Personally ,I think if the monster can do all of these things so far; super strength, and speed. It makes me wonder what else the monster will be able to do, and draws me in as the reader into the book.
