【青春隨筆】《閱讀總結(jié)與英語感悟》
? ? ? 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…
