Atmosphere

In my opinion I think that atmosphere in a story contributes better to the plot line. I think this because if an author sets a gothic atmosphere and has something wonderful happen the reader will be confused and wonder why an author will do somethin like that. In the story frankenstein the author Shelly uses gothic atmosphere for a gothic scene. When Victor returns to Geneva the gates are closed so he can not get in and it started to rain at night. Lighting happens and with each strike he sees some thing and he realizes that is is the monster he created a few years back. In this scene the dark atmosphere contributes to the fear Victor is feeling in the dark upon seeing the monster. Within many scenes in this story Shelly has made the reader understand what the characters are feeling and experiencing.
