Throughout Frankenstein, Tim Kelly uses a dark and mysterious tone to show just how evil his play really is. Early on in the play Ernst asks Sophie if there is an “area of the chateau where anyone might hide? Or any thing?” (6). Ernst implies that a non-human creature could be in the mansion, and could be the killer. A little while later Victor tells Elizabeth that “Tonight… this very night… the man who will kill me will come through those doors.” (6). Victor makes the reader think why and how he knows who the killer is and what his plans are. In the quote Victor talk in a very dramatic way, emphasising the dark and mysterious tone in Frankenstein.
