    Women, like black slaves, were treated unequally from the male before the nineteenth century. The role of the women played the part of their description, physically and emotionally weak, which during this time period all women did was took care of their household and husband, and followed their orders. Women were classified as the “weaker sex” or below the standards of men in the early part of the century. Soon after the decades unfolded, women gradually surfaced to breathe the air of freedom and self determination, when they were given specific freedoms such as the opportunity for an education, their voting rights, ownership of property, and being employed.

    In the novel, Frankenstein and the play The Crucible, the weak presentation of females becomes evident as females allow the male-dominant characters to subdue them. Elizabeth Lavenza, a woman of compassion and benevolence, hides behind the male figures in her life as an act of showing gratitude to her family. Similarly in the play, Elizabeth Proctor plays a woman of self-respect and good acts as she passively gives up her value of being a female character in order to protect her husband, John Proctor. Both women, exhibit the nature of being inactive and having no voice as they patiently serve the men in their life as a righteous duty. Therefore, in Mary Shelley’s novel and Miller’s play, Elizabeth Lavenza and Elizabeth Proctor prove to be weak women through their passivity and lack of voice.

  • Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as a Critique of Masculinity

    1775 Words  | 4 Pages

    The idea for the novel of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein came to her one night when she was staying in the company of what has been called ‘her male coterie’, including Lord Byron and her husband, Percy Shelley. Mary Shelley’s whole life seems to have been heavily influenced by men. She idolised her father, William Godwyn, and appears to have spent a good part of her life trying very hard to impress both him and her husband. There seems to have been a distinct lack of female influence, her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, having died weeks after her birth, being replaced by a neglectful step-mother. These aspects of her life are perhaps evident in her novel. The characters and plot of Frankenstein were perhaps influenced by Shelley’s conflicting feelings about the predominately masculine circle which surrounded her, and perhaps the many masculine traits that we see in novel were based upon those of the male figures in Shelley’s own life. In this essay I will attempt to show some of these traits.

  • The Role of Female Characters in "Frankenstein"

    Can you imagine Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein, the great work of literature, without, for example, such female characters as Mrs. Margaret Saville, Elizabeth Lavenza, and Justine Moritz? In this case the novel will have no meaning. All the women help to develop the plot, and without them Frankenstein will lose its spirit. Although these heroines have a lot in common in their characters: they are all strong-willed, kind, careful, and selfless, at the same time, each of them is unique, and each plays her own role in the novel. Mrs. Margaret Saville is the woman to whom the narrator tells the story. Elizabeth Lavenza is the beloved of Victor Frankenstein. Justine Moritz is the heroine who is accused by mistake of murdering William and executed instead of the fiend. There is close connection between the female and male characters, and if we break it, Frankenstein will have no sense. The author of the novel, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly, characterizes the women in the same way as the men, and shows that they are independent players. So, the female characters in Frankenstein are as important as the male ones.

    The novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, and the article “Of the Pernicious Effects” by Mary Wollstonecraft, both have a similar relationship when regarding the importance of feminism during their time periods. Throughout Shelley’s novel, feminism is addressed because she uses female characters to further her plot and display her viewpoints. If Wollstonecraft evaluated the female characters in Shelley’s novel, she would realize that Elizabeth, Justine, and Safie all show an important purpose to the flow of the novel, and the purpose of equality that Shelley is sending to her audience about feminism.

To begin with, Victor describes how his mother, Caroline Beaufort, meets his father, Alphonse Frankenstein, after Caroline’s father died in poverty. Victor mentions, “He came like a protecting spirit to the poor girl, who committed herself to his care; and after the interment of his friend, he conducted her to Geneva, and placed her under the protection of a relation” (Shelley 28). Even though Caroline is younger than Victor’s father, she has no choice, but to marry him. Without marrying Victor’s father, Caroline will still be in poverty, with nobody to support her.

    Within Frankenstein, the level at which a female is portrayed is quite low. Like we have heard in class, women were not necessarily respected as much as men were when the novel was written. Published in 1818 by Mary Shelley, her story tells of the adventure of young Victor Frankenstein and the creation of his creature. Though deep within this narration of Frankenstein’s life, there seems to be an underlying theme seeping through Shelley’s writing. Shelley seems to venture into the idea of feminism and grotesquely show how men are treated much better than women. Her novel includes various concrete examples to support this hypothesis.

    In “Frankenstein” penned by Mary Shelley, the author depicts the roles of passive women through the roles of Caroline, Elizabeth, and Justine. Caroline marries Victor’s father, Alphonese Frankenstein, despite the huge age difference between them, and gets approval from her husband to make Elizabeth part of the Frankenstein family. Elizabeth joins the Frankenstein family after Caroline takes her from the orphanage, has superficial beauty, and constantly writes letters to Victor, waiting for his return and his hand in marriage. Justine cannot prove her innocence in court without the appearance of Victor. On the other hand, Shelley depicts Safie as a woman willing to stand up for her religion, disobeying her father’s orders of going to Constantinople, and finds Felix. Through the portrayals of Caroline, Elizabeth, and Justine, women are depicted as possessions by men, admired for their superficial beauty, and do not take direct action without the appearance of men. However, Safie’s portrayal in “Frankenstein” symbolizes a woman who longs to have her own rights and a woman who goes against the role of passive woman.

    The women in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, first published in 1818, are indirectly represented and are completely passive. They are only seen through the eyes of Shelley’s three male narrators; Robert Walton, Victor Frankenstein, and the monster. They are described in very little detail, which makes them a passive presence and ultimately reduces their importance and direct impact to the readers. According to Lucy Morrison, “Frankenstein depicts women firmly entrenched in the domestic sphere, their focus conventionally invested in children and household, while men are more active, more powerful, and encouraged to study and explore the world” (Morrison in Fisher, 2003: 112). As a result, the women in Frankenstein serve as tools to draw out the

    Banerjee additionally argues against notions that Shelley isn’t solely concerned on the usurpation of woman’s creative power (Banerjee 1) because the male and female family of Frankenstein are equally destroyed by his creation. Rather than just pulling women up into man’s sphere of separation from nature, Banerjee suggests that Shelley wants to remove the dichotomy; “for the family to ensure the well-being of all members men need to commit to it as much as women.” (Banerjee 12). But I find that there are many instances when feminine does work to bring stability, even though it is divided into different spheres, instead the problem is that the entities are ill-defined in Victor’s own androgynous impulses. For example, Victor’s father and mother
