Atmosphere is most effective

Out of the three elements, atmosphere, action, and supernatural, I think atmosphere is the most effective of them all. I say this because in Freinkonstein, when victors creates the monster, the only supernatural element that he possessed or mentioned in the story was super speed. I do not think action is the most effective either because there is not a lot of action that has happened. Their is more tension, build up, and mystery in the story. Atmosphere is the most effective because Mary Shelley does a lot of build up in the story. An example is, " we crossed re ice, therefore, and ascended; we entered the hut, the fiend with an air of exultation, I with a heavy heart and depressed spirits. The atmosphere is most effective, because it describes the settings and moods. It develops the terror, and horror needed in a gothic literature. Atmosphere is effective over supernatural and action because it develops the setting and sets the the tone and mood of the story for the characters ,and plot in a gothic story
