【青春随笔】《阅读总结与英语感悟》
English part：
Frankenstein is enormously important as a prototype for science fiction and as an early feminist work in literary circle.
Its author is Mary Shelley ,which was born in 18th-century London to two influential writers.
Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was a ra-dical feminist who died after giving birth to Mary, and her father, William Godwin, raised her alone.
Mary left home at 16, married Percy Shell-y after his first wife's suicide, and wrote Frankenstein in a writer's challenge from Lord Byron in 1816-1817.
The story, based on a horrendous vision, was composed during sweeping life changes. Frankenstein was published anonymously in 1818.
However, the story is enduring in its psych-ological drama, philosophical questions , and memorable characterizations.
The story has adapted to many forms, with each adaptation adopt an original approach to tell a very different version of Shelley's original tale.
Frankenstein is an advisory notice done up in gothic costume, warning post-industrial society about the explosion of scientific knowledge and its potential misapplication and the subsequent dehumanization of mankind.
Much as the silent sci-fi film Metropolis w-arned of the need for labor unions, Frankenstei-n warned of the need for considered action in the use of knowledge, and the alienation in store for driven knowledge seekers.
In Frankenstein, Shelley asks who exactly the real monster is.
About the Novel: Frankenstein In the begin-ning, Dr. Frankenstein is rescued from an ice flow in the sea near the North Po-le.
Chased through the Arctic by his Creatur-e, Victor Frankenstein is saved by Captain Walto-n, who listens to the tale of the quest for knowledge--all gone wrong.
Victor describes his childhood as a paradi-se, where his mother and father indulged him.
But, his parents also failed to teach him re-ality, cause-and-effect, or the principles of respect.
With these deficiencies, he considered his adopted sister Elizabeth a possession that he married to own.
Elizabeth could not help Victor overcome his addiction to creating a superhuman species. Victor achieved the goal of his addiction and was subsequently repulsed by it.
Elizabeth was quite literally killed by his addiction as Victor's Creature destroyed everything that was dear to him.
His parents had abandoned his soul in th-eir enabling, and he abandoned his own creation without a name and without a thought.
Frankenstein reveals three generations of monsters--personified in Victor's mother, Victor, and the Creature.
In addition, Elizabeth was reduced to mon-ster status in her treatment as an object, and Mary Shelley herself was a monster (an educated feminist) who could not put her name to her own work.
Victor, the Creature, and Mary Shelley wer-e all different from the mainstream society that rejected them as monstrous: a radical scientist, an inhuman creation, and a feminist without a mother.
Victor lost everyone of value, Shelley lost her mother at birth, and the Creature could not fit in anywhere.
The Creature's abandonment by parent an-d society is similar to that of the feminist for over two centuries.
Feminists were scorned and abandoned a-s they obtained knowledge and subsequent power to participate more fully in societies.
As portrayed in Katja von Garnier's 2004 fi-lm Iron Jawed Angels, feminists were attacked, beaten, and shunned, just as was the Creature in Frankenstein.
Shelley must have felt such abandonmen-t and rejection…
