Chapter 6
Elizabeth write in the letter that she is concerned about Victor and his health, and asks him to write to his family as soon as he can. She then goes on to say that Justine Moritz, a girl who used to live with the Frankenstein family, has moved back to their home after her mothers death. Victors brothers are well; William has turned five and Ernest is now sixteen and wants to join the foreign service. Victor recovers from his illness and introduces Clerval to his professors. The professors praise Frankenstein highly, and Victor hates this. He abandons his studies in order to learn oriental languages with Henry. Victor plans to visit his family in Geneva, but before going he and Henry go on a two-week walking tour of the German country. Here Victor forgets his misery, and says that Henry calls forth 'the better feelings of his heart'.
What makes it gothic?
What makes it gothic?
- The sublime - Victor and Henry's tour of the German country makes Victor appreciate nature and his surrounding again
- Ambiguity - What will happen when Victor returns to his family?
