Created and Not Loved
I believe that Mary Shelley identifies with Victor Frankenstein’s monster. ... We must begin to look deep into the psychological mind of Mary Shelly and her story Frankenstein by approaching it from a psychoanalytic position. ... Could it be that Mary Shelley was created and not loved like Victor’s monster? I’m going to hypothecate Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and contrast it with the monster that was created in the story using psychoanalytic criticism. ...
It is widely known for a fact that Mary Shelley came up with the idea for the story of Frankenstein in a dream. ... Mary Shelley knew her mother’s history of being a feminist, if not from Godwin directly then from his Memoirs, which she read often. ... Even when her novel, Frankenstein, was first published and distributed to the public, it didn’t have her name on it because of the fear that it would be considered politically incorrect for a young woman to write such a story. ...
Although Mary Shelley’s and Wollstonecraft’s intentions through their writings were not bad, they violated the norms of their culture. ... In Frankenstein, Victor’s “monster” was not a bad person; society drove him away and caused him to become what he did. ...
Much like Wollstonecraft and Shelley’s writings made them different from the normal, Victor Frankenstein and his monster were quite unusual themselves.
