2 by Mary Shelley Biography English novelist Mary Shelley is best known for writing Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus (1818) and for her marriage to the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley ( ). Early years Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born on August 30, 1797, in London, England. She was the only daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, the early feminist (one who works on behalf of women's rights) and author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and William Godwin, the political writer and novelist, both of whom objected to the institution of marriage. Ten days after Mary's birth, Wollstonecraft died from complications, leaving Godwin, a self-absorbed intellectual, to care for both Mary and Fanny Imlay, Wollstonecraft's daughter from an earlier relationship. Mary's home life improved little when four years later her father married his next-door neighbor, Mary Jane Clairmont, who already had two children of her own. The new Mrs. Godwin favored her own children over the daughters of the celebrated Wollstonecraft, and Mary was often alone and unhappy. She was not formally educated, but she read many of her mother's books and absorbed the intellectual atmosphere created by her father and such visitors as the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge ( ). Young Mary's favorite retreat was Wollstonecraft's grave in the St. Pancras churchyard, where she went to read and write, and eventually, to meet her lover, Percy Shelley ( ). Life with Shelley An admirer of Godwin, Percy Shelley visited the author's home and briefly met Mary when she was fourteen, but their attraction did not take hold until a meeting two years later. Shelley, twenty-two, was married, and his wife was expecting their second child, but he and Mary, like Godwin and Wollstonecraft, believed that ties of the heart were more important than legal ones. In July 1814, one month before her seventeenth birthday, Mary ran away with Percy, and they spent the next few years traveling in Switzerland, Germany, and Italy. Percy's father, Sir Timothy Shelley, cut off his son's large allowance after the couple ran away together. In 1816 Mary's half-sister Fanny committed suicide; weeks later, Percy's wife, Harriet, drowned herself. Mary and Percy were married in London in an unsuccessful attempt to gain custody of his two children by Harriet. Three of their own children died soon after birth, and Mary fell into a deep depression that did not improve even after the birth in 1819 of Percy Florence, her only surviving child. The Shelleys' marriage suffered, too, in the wake of their children's deaths, and Percy formed romantic attachments to other women. Despite these difficult circumstances, Mary and Percy enjoyed a large group of friends, which included the poet Lord Byron ( ) and the writer Leigh Hunt ( ). They also maintained a schedule of very strict study including classical and European literature, Greek, Latin, and Italian language, music and art and other writing. During this period Mary completed Frankenstein, the story of a doctor who, while trying to discover the secret of life, steals bodies from graves in an attempt to create life from the parts but instead creates a monster.

4 Goal and Outcome Chart Alone or in a group, develop a chart to track the goals for a major character as you read each section, and whether or not those goals are achieved in the novel. The chart should include the following: Five to ten goals of the character Classification of goals: short-term or long-term, meaningful or not, how attained or why failed, impact on self and others Page where the goal is found and page where goal is attained or denied Page where the goal is explained Organization and readability; clear labels and headings Here is an example of what your chart may look like: Character Goal Action(s) Outcome Victor Frankenstein Chapter 1: Wanted to create a man Chapter 1: Pieced together dead people Chapter 1: Created a monster The Monster Chapters 2-3: Wanted to find friendship Chapters 2-3: Tried to become friends with a family Chapters 2-3: Scared the family and felt hatred Quality Checklist Have I classified the goals as short-term or long-term, meaningfulness, attained or not, and impact on self and others? Did I identify the page numbers where the goal is found? Have I explained the attainment or failure of the goal? Have I made my chart easy to read with clear labels and headings? Is it organized? Have I used correct mechanics? Do I have complete sentences with appropriate word choice? Is my final product neat, orderly, complete, and accurate? From 4
5 Decision Making At the end of chapter 16, Frankenstein s monster demands that Victor make him a mate. In chapter 17, Victor deliberates whether or not to do it. It s time for you to make that decision. Step 1: Define the character s goals. Successful people understand the importance of visualizing the desired result before beginning the quest. Consider what results Victor wants. Victor wants to protect his family, to not get caught, and to end the monster s destructive ways. Step 2: List four possible decisions Victor could make along with the pros and cons. This can be done as a whole class discussion, a small group discussion, or an individual assignment. Choice 1: Make the mate. Pros - The monster will stop killing Victor s family. Victor will relieve the guilt of abandoning his creature. The monster will go away and never be heard from again. Cons - The monster could be lying and two monsters could cause more damage to humankind. What if the monster wants children? A race of monsters could destroy humankind. The monster s mate may not even like the monster. Choice 2: Refuse to make the monster. Pros - There aren t two monsters to contend with. Two wrongs don t make a right. See the cons above. Cons - The monster will kill Victor s family and kill people in anger. Choice 3: Agree to make the monster and not actually do it. Pros - This buys Victor some time, time to devise an alternative plan. It also gets the monster away from his family and gives them time to relocate. Cons - Imagine how angry the monster will be when he finds out he s been tricked. Victor will have to associate with dead body parts once again. Choice 4: Agree to make the monster and while pretending to make it, gather up a posse to hunt him. Pros - The monster is strong, but is he capable of fending off hundreds of angry villagers? Victor wouldn t even have to admit he made the thing. He could just say he found the creature in his home. Cons - From 5
6 Allusion Allusion: a figure of speech that makes a reference or representation of or to a well-known person, place, event, literary work, or work of art. Allusion allows an author to make a powerful point without having to actually explain it. When using an allusion, the author assumes that the reader is familiar with the item being alluded to. An allusion is ineffective if the reader is not familiar with the item being alluded to. Publishers use footnotes or side notes to help modern readers understand allusions that may no longer be common knowledge. An allusion is not the same as an illusion. Frankenstein requires a knowledge of British Romanticism and selected writings. Familiarizing oneself with the period will make the allusions more effective. 1. Read Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge. There are numerous allusions to it in the novel. 2. Read the story of Zeus and Prometheus. The full title of the novel is Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus. 3. Make a chart containing 5-10 rows and three columns with the following headings: Example of Allusion Explanation of the Allusion Purpose of the Allusion 4. Find allusions from the novel and copy them down in column 1 5. Explain the allusion in column 2 6. Analyse the purpose of the allusion in column 3 7. Write a paragraph analysing the allusion: Why does Shelley make so many allusions to Rime of the Ancient Mariner? How does Shelley s use of allusions help you understand the loneliness of the monster? Compare Dr. Frankenstein to Prometheus From 6
