Résumé

Chapter 5 is significant, on the one hand, because it's by this chapter that Mary Shelley began to write her novel, during her famous stay in the Lake Geneva region. In a waking nightmare, she saw the birth of a monster and the next morning she knew she had found her inspiration... That's how she began writing the lines that open Chapter 5. She believed, as she wrote it in her introduction that what had "terrified her would terrify others". We have there the very essence of the gothic novel. Chapter 5 indeed includes many elements of the Gothic literary genre, as we will see in our first part. On the other hand, this chapter is interesting as Victor's new face is revealed to us step by step. That's what we'll study in a second part.
