In Ellen Moers’ critical essay Female Gothic: The Monster’s Mother (1974) on Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, she argues that Mary Shelley’s story is greatly influenced by her experience of motherhood.

   Frankenstein can be read as a tale of what happens when a man tries to create a child without a woman. It can, however, also be read as an account of a woman's anxieties and insecurities about her own creative and reproductive capabilities. The story of Frankenstein is the first articulation of a woman's experience of pregnancy and related fears. Mary Shelley, in the development and education of the monster, discusses child development and education and how the nurturing of a loving parent is extremely important in the moral development of an individual. Thus, in Frankenstein, Mary Shelley examines her own fears and thoughts about pregnancy, childbirth, and child development.

When discussing the character and development of the monster, Shelley launches an extensive discussion on the

Frankenstein puts his life at risk, as well as others trying to acquire knowledge, which he put over his family and his health. The monster is on a path of self-discovery about where he is from, and how to survive. He also patiently learns how to speak and read. Through the “sanguinary laws of man”(Shelley123), the creature learns that it is acceptable to kill in certain circumstances, leading to the death of innocent people. As a result of Felix’s story, he learns how to manipulate the judicial system, leading him to deliberately frame Justine Moritz for William’s death.

Frankenstein returns home for the death of his brother and realizes that when he arrives at the gates of Geneva that they are shut and locked for the night. Because of this happening he decides to go for a walk in the forest to the crime scene of Williams death. When he arrives he notices that his monster that he had created is lurking around the area. Seeing the monster Frankenstein knows in his mind that the monster was the cause of his brother’s death. Frankenstein had kept silent when he had the chance to confess everything, including his secret of the monster that he had created. He did not want the people to think that he was crazy for making up such nonsense, when in fact it was all the truth. Justine Moritz was the Frankenstein’s family

The next significant female character in Shelley’s novel, “Frankenstein”, is the character, Justine. Justine is the most pivotal female character in “Frankenstein”, as she is basically framed and executed for a murder that she didn't commit. This drives the novel along because Victor realizes that Justine is innocent and because of this, he starts to have anger and hate towards the creature who really

A predominant theme in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is that of child-rearing and/or parenting techniques.  Specifically, the novel presents a theory concerning the negative impact on children from the absence of nurturing and motherly love.  To demonstrate this theory, Shelly focuses on Victor Frankenstein’s experimenting with nature, which results in the life of his creature, or “child”.  Because Frankenstein is displeased with the appearance of his offspring, he abandons him and disclaims all of his “parental” responsibility.  Frankenstein’s poor “mothering” and abandonment of his “child” leads to the creation’s

Justine Moritz is the first minor character that has a significant role assists in developing the plot. Justine Moritz was the lovely servant who has been with the Frankenstein family since she was a little girl. She was the caretaker of William Frankenstein and has great love towards the Frankenstein family. Justine is a key component that helps with the character development of Victor

Frankenstein feels utter remorse when he is aware that Justine will not be spared. An analogy is used here – Justine's tortures are being compared to those of Frankenstein. A sophisticated metaphor

The horror classic novel Frankenstein has gathered a great deal of critical and commercial attention since first being introduced in 1818, and naturally there has been many academics who have analyzed many of the novel’s biggest themes, symbols, and motifs. This also includes in analyzing the author herself, Mary Shelley. Marcia Aldrich, who has her Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington, is one of the academics to underline the role of being a female writer in the 19th century and what importance this plays on the novel Frankenstein. In her article, co-written by Richard Isomaki, “The Woman Writer as Frankenstein” analyzes the significance of Mary Shelley being the daughter of a writer and how this contributed to her writing Frankenstein, which they speculate as her, Mary Shelley, envisioning herself as the Monster. Aldrich and Isomaki’s “The Woman Writer as Frankenstein” makes valid and persuasive points, which effectively argues that the novel is semi-autobiographical in the sense that Mary Shelley pictured her as the Frankenstein Monster, for many of the concerns that the authors bring up in their article highlight the insecurities, doubts, and inexorable frustrations of a young woman writing in the 19th century.

The female characters in Frankenstein represent the treatment of women in the early 1800’s. Women who are deprived of their female roles and are enclosed in a feminine sphere of domesticity. In the novel, Frankenstein, the women characters are treated as property and have little privileges in relationship to the male characters, the women suffer and are eventually destroyed showing how unimportant they are in the book’s society, and when it comes to reproduction of human’s, man thinks it pointless to have women play that role. These attacks on the innocent prove that women are second-rate in the novel.

When Justine is framed for the murder of William Frankenstein, both she and Victor know she is innocent. However, because Justine resembled a passive woman in the 17th century, she admits to a murder she never committed. Justine parallels women in the 17th century because their little impact on their society. In Justine’s defense, she admits, “But I do not pretend that my protestations should acquit me,” (Shelley.84) Justine talks like this because she knows that there is no way a woman can plea to be innocent. In Amy Sturgis’ interpretation of Frankenstein, Sturgis’ argues that Shelley uses Victor’s independence to help show a feminist lens.

In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein the critical essay “Lesbian Panic and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein” (“Lesbian Panic”) by Frann Michel approaches Frankenstein from a gender perspective and applies Adrienne Rich’s lesbian continuum, the “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence” where female relationships, mother-daughter/sisters/female friendships which all fall under the umbrella of lesbian relations, to the relationships that are present in Frankenstein. Frann Michel clarifies through her essay that any work of literature that takes a critical point of view of heterosexual relationships is, in fact, a lesbian text. Michel states that in Frankenstein the motion of lesbian panic is prevalent because lesbian desire is avoided at all costs – during the 1800’s society was rampant with panic, or phobia, amongst those who were afraid of potential sexual desires with one another. Lesbians were considered “Sapphic monstrosities” (Michel 351). In placing female characteristics on all characters in the novel Michel argues, in “Reading Mothers and Lovers”, that Victor Frankenstein’s “maternal anxiety” and his creature’s unfulfilled desire for a female is a doubling of them reflecting with their female counterparts under the lesbian continuum (Michel 355). In “Difference and Desire” Michel claims that Justine and Elizabeth’s tender moments at the end of Justine’s life comes to an end as a result of her unjust confinement and murder. The creature created by Victor is henceforth the

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein demonstrates a variety of women from distinct backgrounds where the majority faces a doomed fate due to the patriarchal society. Furthermore, the overall representation of women in Frankenstein is passiveness and submissiveness towards the decision and actions of men; they are portrayed as absent due to their minor roles. The “absence” of women could have been the very reason why there are so many downfalls throughout the novel. The death of Victor’s mother due to scarlet fever, the innocent Justine executed, Elizabeth (the beautiful wife) killed by the creature, proves the powerlessness and the passive nature of women that led to their unfortunate death even though, the only woman, Safie broke the chains of the
