Can you please check this paragraph on Frankenstein and the tradition of the Gothic novel. Thank you very much.

1)Gothic novels reached their popularity at the end of 18th century. The adjective “Gothic” was first used in architecture and then applied to literature by Horace Walpole, who subtitled his novel “The Castle of Otranto” “A Gothic Story”.
2)The first Gothic characteristic of Frankenstein is evident in the presence of grotesque elements as it appears, for example, in the description of the monster. He has a yellow skin, dull,watery eyes, and black lips.
3)Another characteristic of the Gothic novel in Frankenstein is the presence of mystery. In the book Mary Shelley never tells the reader how Frankenstein is (was?) really created.
4) The only thing we know about the monster is that Victor used the limbs of dead bodies to create the body of the monster.
5)Another characteristic that is in many Gothic novels is the desolate environment. The story of Frankenstein begins and ends in the arctic ice. In the beginning of the story, Walloon’s ship is surrounded by ice and can’t move.

1. When you use a word as a noun (as you did with "Gothic" in this sentence), you should really put it in italics rather than in quotation marks. Also, titles and subtitles of books need to be either underlined or in italics. (Italics is preferred now that we are in the age of computers and word processors.)

Be sure to read carefully and find all the changes I made.

Sure! Here's the revised paragraph:

"Frankenstein and the tradition of the Gothic novel have several common elements. Firstly, Gothic novels gained popularity in the late 18th century, with the term 'Gothic' being originally used in architecture and later applied to literature by Horace Walpole, who subtitled his novel 'The Castle of Otranto' as 'A Gothic Story'. In the case of Frankenstein, one Gothic characteristic is the presence of grotesque elements, which can be seen in the description of the monster. The monster is depicted with yellow skin, dull and watery eyes, and black lips. Furthermore, mystery plays a significant role in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The novel does not explicitly reveal how Frankenstein is created, leaving the reader in suspense. The only information given is that Victor used the limbs of dead bodies to construct the monster's body. Additionally, the desolate environment is another common characteristic found in many Gothic novels, and it also appears in Frankenstein. The story begins and ends in the arctic ice, as Walloon's ship is trapped amidst the frozen landscape. Thus, Frankenstein aligns itself with the tradition of the Gothic novel through these characteristics."
