Gest przeciwko Stwórcy i kulturze – o skandalu estetycznym na podstawie Frankensteina Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Journal Title: Prace Literaturoznawcze - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
M. Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel grew out of the experience of modernity. Technological progress and science put up a man on the threshold of the nineteenth century in a new cultural situation. This experience of reality as continuous change in man caused various fears to grow, which in turn required from him to develop new values, to determine what is good and what is bad. In such a situation is the title character of the novel Frankenstein, which deals with the scientist, who creates a new life without the participation of woman. So in terms of subject matter, character construction, who turns out to be an anticreator, the novel became an aesthetic shock to the audience, when it was supposed to be a novel about human dreams and fears.
