Throughout Frankenstein by Mary Shelley female characters are in the novel‚ but none of them have played a strong role in the book. Mary Shelley’s mother was a writer and advocate of women’s rights‚ and while Mary Shelley does write off of her personal experiences; in this case she does not. Elizabeth‚ Caroline‚ and Justine’s passive roles in Frankenstein are what Mary Shelley uses to draw attention to the monster and Victor’s behavior‚ and gender roles. The female characters were only used to help

Sabrina Smith Faithful Women Anne Bradstreet and Mary Rowlandson were two influential women in early American literature. They were both women of “firsts”. Anne Bradstreet’s poems were the first published volume written by an American (110).

I admire her for being modest about her poetry and how she is very unassuming‚ but at the same time Bradstreet never

Moreover‚ his face‚ which appears flustered‚ indicates

Unlike Wollstonecraft’s and Wordsworth’s works‚ the sentences are of moderate length and simple diction. One of my favorite lines is by Victor Frankenstein: “My life might have been passed in ease and luxury; but I preferred glory to every enticement that wealth placed in my path” (P 9). I find this quote is important
