Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein” it is clear to the reader that Mary Shelly was influenced by her upbringing in a patriarchal society. This might confuse some before reading the book‚ because her mother was Mary Wollstonecraft‚ a famous philosopher and feminist.

A passage of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein: Or‚ the Modern Prometheus (1818)‚ in which Victor Frankenstein witnesses his creation climbing the slopes of Mont Salêve‚ primarily functions as a spectacle of awe and terror‚ but is underscored by Shelly’s reflection on the complex nature of the division between good and evil.

In the novel of Mary Shelly as we all know‚ Frankenstein‚ the story claims to be the sympathetic depiction of domestic affection. It may seem strange in a novel full of murder tragedy‚ and misery. But in fact‚ all that tragedy‚ murder‚ and misery occur because of the lack of joining to either family or society.
