Mary Shelly And Frankenstein

The Frankenstein Application Essay: Feminism
Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein novel is a literal work that mainly focused on “human condition” or the encounters of human beings in their day to day course. This work will try to bridge Mary’s work with the real-life situations and applications. The essay, therefore, will look at how Shelly has depicted the theme of feminism, how she has treated females and her perception of women. Notably, Mary Shelly came from a feministic background; she thus can bring out this theme well. This work will illustrate how, through her feminist critics, Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein surpasses the confines of women’s literature taking a radical stance on common societal problems that exist today.

Shelly employs biblical allusion when she likens her characters with those from Milton’s poem, Paradise Lost, in a complex and idiosyncratic way to express her feminist criticism. Victor represents God; the creature represents Satan and is made to play the role of Eve, exhibiting Victor’s visible hubris. In her critic, Margaret Homan writes that “Shelley's particular history shows irrefutably that children, even pregnancies, do not remain under the control of those who conceive them.

She could also be working along the patriarchal structure of the epoch that left women to perform all traditional chores while the men stayed home. It is also arguable that he created a male creature since he deemed it as a more proper partner than a female one. The beast detached him from women, inclusive of Elizabeth to the extent of her questioning him, “do you not love another?” (Shelley 162). Mellor points out how Frankenstein describes nature as female; “In constituting nature as female -- ‘I pursued nature to her hiding places’.” (Shelly 49) Frankenstein contributes to a gendered creation of the universe (Mellor 1). His elimination of the natural female reproductive role tends to undermine women's biological and cultural power. The two misogynistic resulted in the miseries that encountered Victor serving as a warning that Shelly intended to voice for traditions that value men over women. The DeLacey family is also used to challenge the patriarchal familial structures of the era. In the family, work is equally shared with mutual concern, love, and companionship. Felix means love, Agatha goodness, and the two are merged by Safie (Sophia and wisdom) (Mello 2). Safie’s disapproval of the oppression subjected to women by the Islamic religion
