Female Characters In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Throughout life, the male figure has always been seen as the stronger and more dominant sex. They are the leaders and head of the family. In other words, they are the ones who ultimately make the final choices make the rules that everyone else has to obey. We see this want for dominance almost everywhere we look. Males get competitive, humans and animals. Not just in simple games, but also when looking for mates. Society has shaped the male figure to someone who doesn't take advice from others. A man that wants to show everyone else that he is in charge. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the female characters can be interpreted as a redeeming force but, as further analysis demonstrates, the women were merely discarded in order to prove that
a man’s natural instinct is to strive to maintain his dominance and power over women and others.
