Mother's Day

I know that everyone is sick of Frankenstein but with it being Mother's Day and all I want to share something that relates to today and the analysis paper that I used. Mary Shelley had many problems with motherhood. Out of the four children she had only one survived and her mother also died 11 days after her birth. Her obsession with pregnancy, birth, maternity, and death are reflected in the work of Victor Frankenstein who is able to create and sustain life in an artificial manner. Mary may have taken her aggression out on the monster for being able to live and viciously created it into a hideous, murdering fiend who is unnatural and unaccepted because she could not bear her own personal pain of the loss of her children and dramatic instances of death in her life.
