Frankenstein: Eco-Cultural and Feminine-Self

Abstract

The basic objective of the current research is to analyze the Eco-cultural and feminine self in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818). The novel is significant to highlight the gender construction through scientific salvation and technological penetration to challenge the male dominancy on female hood as submissive, passive and possessable creature. The novel speculates over the drastic effects of declining the value of reproduction naturally by creating a monster. The Separate Sphere Theory is applied to the text which would help the literary students to understand the interconnectedness of women and nature. The research is qualitative in approach to get the desired results to show women’s suppression, humiliation and decentralization through opening the channels of cyborgs in the contemporary world.
