Abstract:
Magister Artium - MA<br>This thesis will examine the representation of the figure of Percy Shelley in the text of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818). My hypothesis is that Percy Shelley represents to Mary Shelley a figure who embodies the contrasting and more startling aspects of both the Romantic Movement and the Enlightenment era. This I will demonstrate through a close examination of the text of Frankenstein and through an exploration of the figure of Percy Shelley as he is represented in the novel. The representation of Shelley is most marked in the figures of Victor and the Creature, but

Abstract:
This essay is a feminist analysis of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818) that shows how Shelley criticizes society through presenting feminist viewpoints. I argue that Shelley critiques traditional gender roles by punishing characters subscribing to them. Most of the characters conform to traditional gender stereotypes. The male characters are ambitious and self-centered while the female characters are self-sacrificing and docile. The main protagonist Victor Frankenstein represents patriarchal belief and is incapable of any feminine attributes which leads to the demis

Abstract:
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has frequently been interpreted as a cautionary tale of the dangers of medical science and its ambitions. However, by comparing the different narratives in the novel the essay will show that the intention of the novel is quite different. The essay will show that while Frankenstein himself comes to believe that science is the culprit, the narratives by Walton and the creature qualify that view, showing rather that the problem is not science as such but Frankenstein’s abandonment of his creation. The essay begins with a brief introduction to the historical background

Med ekokritik menas här att studera det mänskliga jämfört med det ickemänskliga samt att också diskutera detta mänskliga, vilket är en av huvudpoängerna inom posthumanism.

A literatura romântica inglesa se constituiu basicamente de poesia, pois foi produzida em uma época em que ficção em prosa era vista como mero entretenimento.

Durante mais de um século, sua obra permaneceu restrita às sessões dos livros que tratam da exótica literatura gótica.

Feminist literary critics have long focused on the female gender role in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. This essay turns instead to the role of fatherhood in Frankenstein. This has been achieved by applying Judith Butler’s feminist theory, the Theory of Performativity, and by examining the different examples of fatherhood in the novel, performing a comparative study whilst applying a historical context. The main point of focus has been to compare the effects, of the existing types of fatherhood in the novel, on family and society, using the Theory of Performativity. This has resulted in the unde

Rather than applying an outside perspective, e.g. a feminist or Marxist one, to the text, I use Cultural Criticism as described by Arthur Asa Berger in order to deconstruct and reconstruct the discourse, as explained by Michel Foucault, within Shelley’s work. In doing so, I view the

The word "necrophilia" brings a particular definition readily to mind – that of an act of sexual intercourse with a corpse, probably a female corpse at that. But the definition of the word did not always have this connotation; quite literally the word means "love of the dead," or "a morbid attraction to death." An examination of nineteenth-century literature reveals a gradual change in relationships between the living and the dead, culminating in the sexualized representation of corpses at the close of the century.

Abstract:
The main focus of this essay is to attempt to answer the question of how Mary Shelley in her novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), and Kenneth Branagh in his film Frankenstein (1994) portray nature, the environment and the characters with the help of an ecocritical perspective, and how Frankenstein could be used by high school teachers to teach students about the ecocritical perspective, but also the global sustainability goals. The questions that I have tried to answer in this analysis are: How is nature used in the two versions to reflect the main characters? How can the main

Tarkastelen pro gradu -tutkielmassani ahdistuneisuuden ulottuvuuksia Mary Shelleyn teoksessa Frankenstein, or, the modern Prometheus (1818). Pääsääntöisesti keskityn teoksen kahden henkilöhahmon, Victor Frankensteinin ja hänen luomansa hirviön kokemaan ahdistukseen ja sen syihin. Tutkimuksessani kuvaan sitä, millaisena ahdistuneisuus teoksessa näyttäytyy ja mitkä sisäiset ja ulkoiset ilmiöt sitä synnyttävät tarkastelemissani henkilöhahmoissa. Karkeasti luokitellen teoksessa esiintyy omaan minuuteen ja sisäisiin ristiriitoihin nivoutuvaa psykologista ahdistusta sekä olemassaoloon liittyvää eksi

Abstract:
Boundary and desire surround the relationships in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and The Last Man. The narrative modes of Captain Robert Walton relate his separation to the rest of the world and his need for companionship. Yet, not any companionship will satisfy his longing for connection with a human being; his search revolves around the need of common understanding. This further separates the character of Lionel in The Last Man from humanity in that he is unable to find anyone left on earth after a series of plague, war, and atmospheric anomalies apparently wipe out the human race. His survival

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>英美語文學研究所<br>98<br>This thesis aims to reinvigorate Mary Shelley’s position as a writer in the literary arena. At eighteen Mary Shelley produced her masterpiece Frankenstein. Accomplishing such a feat at so early an age she should be recognized as a distinguished writer; however, because of her sex and age she was relentlessly attacked by critics. Instead of seeing the merits of her adapting the works of fellow writers into her work, critics criticized Frankenstein as merely a creative rewrite of others’ works. To rebuke these criticisms, this thesis closely examines the influen

The aim of this diploma thesis is the comparison of the interpretations of the two novels of English Romanticism: William Godwin?s Caleb Williams (1794) and Mary Shelley?s Frankenstein (1818). It will concentrate on the influence of the tradition of Gothic novels, especially on the motifs of secret, pursuit, crime and self-devision. It will also concentrate on the atmosphere of fear and suspense.
