摘　　要：Mary Shelley, a British famous female writer in the 19th century, wrote Frankenstein in 1818, which was regarded as a noted classic gothic fiction. The gothic style enriches the connotation of the novel and endows her works with a mysterious sublimity in such a way as to carry gothic novels into a new stage of development. This article attempts to analyze the gothic sublime of Frankenstein commencing from sublime theories of Longinus, Burke and Kant and the definition of he father of gothic novels Horace Walpole＇s ＂gothic＂. The study finds that the gothic sublime of Frankenstein is mainly embodied in three aspects as ugliness, the production of the monster and the torture by an endless terror
