C. Elizabeth’s love for creating art
D. Elizabeth’s quiet and gentle personality

Respuesta :

Option "B" is the correct one.

Frankenstein's obsession with scientific pursuits is a clear example of Gothic literature element. Victor Frankenstein shows a great interest in the structure of the human frame and begins to explore human anatomy so as to be able to generate life. Gloomy events portray Gothic literature characteristics, such as the pillaging of graveyards, the specimens' dissections, the living creatures' tortures, Victor's obsession with his scientific pursuits and his idea of creating a human being by putting together body parts from cadavers as well as reanimating it by the use of electricity.
