Have a little read: … How does Shelley use traditional features of gothic heroes to evoke sympathy for this narrator? ‘Frankenstein’ is a gothic novel, throughout the chapters 11-16 Mary Shelley creates sympathy for the monster in different ways by integrating a narration from Frankenstein’s creature. Mary Shelley evokes sympathy for the monster by giving the monster a lot of aspects of a gothic antagonist. Lacking characteristics of a gothic antagonist both Frankenstein and the creature are the protagonists. For the creature his lacks being an epitome of evil because he has strong emotions but rather he is not being a real villain but being treated like one. The creature possesses more gothic characteristics. During his time he becomes more and more isolated, at first he can not help this as he has nowhere to go, because he was shunned from society.
