Full textThis study focuses upon a comparison of six works in French, English and Italian from the 19th and 20th centuries, in order to reflect upon the staging of failure in the novel form. Firstly, the study demonstrates how representations of failure are shaped both by the individual development of their authors, and by the social and political tensions of the period through which they lived (England after the French Revolution, and later at the height of the industrial revolution in the Victorian age; Sicily after the Risorgimento, and under Mussolini’s regime; France during the belle époque or the interwar years.)The second part of this thesis aims to highlight three principal aspects of the poetics of the ‘novel of failure’. This section focuses initially on the distribution of time – a temporality which oscillates between the linear and the cyclical, invoking the image of tidal ebbs and flows. Subsequently, the section emphasises the preponderance of weak-willed characters, who aim to decode their relationships to the world through the prism of their naïve and bookish illusions, in the manner of a Dostoyevskian or Flaubertian protagonist. Finally, this section seeks to illuminate the peculiar process that leads characters and objects of fiction to exchange their attributes and functions: while the former find themselves reduced to the level of useless or abandoned objects, the latter achieve an almost autonomous existence.The thesis concludes by engaging with the question of the subversive charge of the ‘novel of failure’. The novel form reveals itself to be endowed with an exceptional capacity for resistance to ideological discourses and mechanisms of socio-cultural control, whose detrimental aspirations it insidiously frustrates

Full textThis thesis establishes a dialogue among three books from 19th century British literature: the novel Frankenstein (1818), by M. W. Shelley; the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), by Robert Louis Stevenson; and the novel The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896), by H. G. Wells. This comparison is made based on the specific Gothic and Science fiction conventions present in the books. The main theoretical support for the definition of genres employed here comes from Tzvetan Todorov. The author argues that genres are inevitable as horizons of interpretation, entities in constant change which tend to create new genres from pre-existent ones, in a chain of influences. This thesis considers this supposition to determine how Gothic and Science fiction make themselves present in the works analyzed, in a way that Gothic traits, being adapted through time, give way to similar but yet innovative conventions, which subsequently would be considered a new literary genre. Primarily, considerations concerning the concept of genres through history are made, all of which show how this study was kept constant. Hereafter, certain conventions regarding both genres are defined, as well as the manner they dialogue amongst themselves. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the analysis of Frankenstein and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and establishes the predominance of Gothic conventions – especially the ones related to the inner conflict of the characters, such as the "double" –, while considering the emergence of scientific themes, such as the creator/creature relationship and scientific ambition. The last section verifies how the first cycle of H. G. Wells' Science fiction in a broad sense, and The Island of Dr. Moreau in a strict sense, reemploy conventions of both genres, serving to consolidate the latter. Therefore, it is concluded that there was an evolution which enabled the emergence of a new genre, considering the historical contexts and the books analyzed. This consideration justifies genres as wide-ranging, non-restrictive entities, which may be present in various works simultaneously and broaden their horizon of interpretation.

A dissertação de mestrado, “Frankenstein: uma releitura do mito de criação”, tem como principal objetivo demonstrar como a escritora inglesa Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, por meio de seu romance Frankenstein, ou o moderno Prometeu (1818), conseguiu criar um novo mito, isto é, o mito de Frankenstein, contribuiu para a renovação do romance gótico e para a criação de uma nova modalidade literária - a ficção científica. No primeiro capítulo foi realizado um estudo sobre as origens, características e principais obras do romance gótico. No segundo capítulo é abordada a relação entre mito e literatura e são analisados quais mitos aparecem no enredo do romance de Mary Shelley, enfatizando-se a importância do relato mítico de Prometeu. No terceiro capítulo é estudada a construção do discurso narrativo mítico de Frankenstein e é demonstrada a intertextualidade dessa obra com outros textos, tais como poemas, romances e estudos filosóficos e científicos. No quarto e último capítulo é demonstrado a releitura do mito de criação feita por Mary Shelley, a conseqüente criação do mito de Frankenstein, e as diversas interpretações e releituras que o romance recebeu, terminando com Blade Runner (O caçador de andróides, 1982), filme do cineasta inglês Ridley Scott que, ao promover a atualização do mito de Frankenstein, deu uma contribuição significativa para sua permanência em nossa cultura
The main aim of this Master’s Thesis, “Frankenstein: a rewriting of the myth of creation, is demonstrate how the English writer Mary Shelley in her novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus (1818), created a new kind of myth, renewed the gothic novel and gave origin to a new literary genre - science fiction. The first chapter discusses – the origins, characteristics and main works of the Gothic literature. The second chapter explores the relationships between myth and literature, and analyses which myths are present in the plot of Mary Shelley’s novel, stressing the importance of the Promethean’s story. The third chapter is concerned with the construction of mythic narrative discourse and with the novel’s intertextuality with different kind texts, such as poems, another novels and philosophical and scientific studies. The fourth and last chapter concentrates on Mary Shelley’s rewriting of the myth of creation, on the different ways her novel was interpreted and read, and it finishes with study of the film by the English director Ridley Scott, Blade Runner (1982), that offered a major contribution to update and foster the permanence of the Frankenstein’s myth in our culture

Full textThis thesis investigates the representations of the doppelganger figure in three nineteenth-century British Gothic novels: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Using Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species and The Descent of Man, and Sigmund Freud’s The Uncanny, I argue that the doppelganger symbolizes social conventions and anxieties of British men in the 1800s. By examining the physical and metaphorical representations of duality and the doppelganger figure in literature, I demonstrate that duplicity was commonplace in nineteenth-century London. I conclude that the doppelgangers are physical Gothic manifestations of terror that epitomize nineteenth-century struggles with propriety, repression of desires, and fears of atavism, descent, and the unknown.

Full textAt a time when women's fiction was flourishing and when the condition of woman caused increasingly acute problems, mary wollstonecraft chose to express in the novel the same message as in a vindication of the rights of woman. Works which were full of horror and pathos, mary and the wrongs of woman promoted the right to divorce and love for women. Some of ther contemporaries had the courage to follow in her steps and like her to portray a sombre picture of a woman's life. However, not all women were sympathetic towards mary wollstonecraft's views. Hating everything which she stood for, some authors like hannah more created wollstonecraftian anti-heroines who were destined to be punished by poetic justice. On the other hand, they were full of praise for the status quo, even at the expense of the dynamics of their novel. A generation later, mary shelley published frankenstein. Apparently without importance, woman is however not absent from the works of mary wollstonecraft's daughter. Perhaps mary shelley owes her success partly to this indirection. Other novelists, such as fanny burney, maria edgeworth, ann radcliffe or jane austen, managed to have their talent more or less quickly recognised. If they as well adopted the strategy of indirection, their success however was a significant step forward for the female sex
