Text Background Mary Shelley’s gothic novel Frankenstein was labeled “romantic fiction” by an early reviewer. It is a powerful work of imagination that uses exotic natural settings and emphasizes the emotions of fear and awe. The title character who she holds up for readers’ evaluation, Dr. Frankenstein, is an ambiguous character who may or may not be worthy of our admiration.
