In Volume 3, Chapter 3 Victor Frankenstein battles himself with the question should he create a female figure like the one he had created before. The setting takes place in his laboratory, the sun had already set and the moon was rising. This setting gives off a Gothic environment. Victor quotes
" Had I a right, for my own benefit, to inflict this curse upon everlasting generations? I had before been moved by the sophism's of the being I had created"
" I trembled, and my heart failed within me; when, on looking up, I saw, by the light of the moon, the daemon at the casement".
The words the other uses shows so many elements of Gothic literature in her work. A dark environment is created in this chapter by Frankenstein's thoughts and the presence of the creature.
