How does Mary Shelley use lightness and darkness in Frankenstein?

Asked by Wiki User

The imagery in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is used to portrays the similarities and differences between Victor and his creation, not only does the use of natural imagery compare the two but it forewarns when something is about to happen.

Imagery of nature is also used to describe particular people such as Elizabeth and Victor's mother. Women are described as feminine and natural and all natural references can be traced back to a woman, whereas the imagery of men, such as Waldon, the imagery leans more towards that of a scientific nature.

One bit of advice, read through again carefully, draw a table between masculine and feminine and compare different lines throughout

What are similarities between Victor and the monster in Frankenstein by Mary Shelley?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Victor is kind of compared to God, and the creature to Adam. The creature is shunned by his own creator, even though he means well. Victor denied the creature the happiness and love necessary for growth, thus the creature turned "evil". Victor did not take responsibility for his creation, and thus the crimes of the creature can be blamed on Victor.

Where did Mary Shelley come up with the story Frankenstein?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, Frankenstein is the surname of the main character, Victor Frankenstein. Victor was the scientist who created the creature after harnessing the power of electricity and developing a secret technique from his studies in chemistry and other sciences.

A common misconception is that the creature Victor created was named "Frankenstein." This is false in the novel, as the creature was never given a proper name, though it was given many informal names such as "devil", "daemon", "monster", and "fiend." This misconception was propagated by a misleading stage adaption in which the monster was referred to as "Frankenstein."

Since the novel was published, "Frankenstein" has often erroneously been used to refer to the monster. Though this usage is technically incorrect, researchers have deemed the use of "Frankenstein" to refer to the monster as well-established and acceptable.
