Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein': Feminism And Patriarchy
[ send me this paper ]
18 pages in length. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a celebration of gender, with particular emphasis upon issues of feminism and patriarchal control. Indeed, Shelley portrays the early birth of feminism; not only are her writings a solid reflection of her sentiments but so is the manner in which she reflects the female reawakening. Shelley displays her craft well and does not hesitate to apply her talent as more of a social statement than one of mere entertainment. The writer discusses the author's primary argument: that the female gender -- no matter how seemingly fragile and delicate -- was indeed just as much an emotionally strong and self-reliant individual as her socially-accepted male counterpart. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Significance Of Thresholds In The Work Of Bronte And Shelley :
[ send me this paper ]
The idea behind a threshold is threefold it separates the space between what lies on one side of the door and the other, it stops the door from swinging between those same spaces and it forms the base for the frame of the door. The analogy of a door is a popular one for understanding life, whether fictional representations of life or real life. Doors open into new spaces, experiences and knowledge. This 7 page paper examines the stories of Jane Erye, by Charlotte Bronte, Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, and Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, and argues that there is at least one incident where a character 'stands at the threshold' of a decision that will change their life. No additional sources are listed.
