The main literary element of Frankenstein is the motifs monstrocity and secrecy. Not only is the monster Victor created a monster, but so is Victor himself. The monster kills people, but Victor tells no one the truth of who did it. He let Justine be condemed for the murder of his brother William, but though he feels guilty, he does not take the blame for it.
Victor Frankestein does not tell anyone about his obsession with creating life or his killing monster. The moster also keeps his existance a secret, not telling the DeLacy's that he spent many months in their abandoned pig sty.
The author, in my opinion, uses motifs so strongly is to connect Victor to the monster he wants no business with.
