Victor Frankenstein Feminized

#wait #say more what the people want, the people get you see my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences. evidence as explained: • victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spending two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world • his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression • he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest • henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces

A screenshot of a social media post shares a professor’s interpretation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, arguing that Victor is feminized through illness, childbirth-like creation, swooning, and needing care. The joke is the exaggerated but persuasive reframing of Victor Frankenstein as a damsel in distress, inviting readers to demand even more evidence.
