  • Frankenstein and the Inoculated Reader Frankenstein; Or the Modern Prometheus
    FRANKENSTEIN AND THE INOCULATED READER FRANKENSTEIN; OR THE MODERN PROMETHEUS AND THE INOCULATED READER By JANE L. DROVER, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University (c) Copyright by Jane L. Drover, June 1990 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1990) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Frankenstein; Or The Modern Prometheus and The Inoculated Reader AUTHOR: Jane Drover, B.A. (McMaster University) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Joan Coldwell NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 337 ii Abstract My thesis examines the relationship between Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and the Frankenstein myth as it has come to be known because of film. I propose that present-day readers, in addition to having a repository of literary knowledge, also have a reservoir of f ilmic memories on which to draw when they read. These visual 'texts' can function, I argue, not only as inter-texts but also as signs, indicating to us how to read certain written texts. Building on reader-response criticism, I include these visual signs in my analysis of the reading experience of Frankenstein. After outlining a brief history of visualizations of the novel on stage and in film and commenting on the contributions these adaptations gave to the story, I focus on the James Whale classics of 1931 and 1935. It is to. these films that we owe the figures of the Karloffian monster, the hunchbacked assistant, the 'mad' scientist, and the monster's grotesque 'bride.' Having imitated the common order of our exposure to the myth -- that is we know or know of Frankenstein films before we arrive at the novel I define and explain the iii theoretical concepts of narrative and filmic afterimages.

  • “I HAVE FOUND IT!” Mary Shelley Remembered Thinking When She Awoke from a Fateful Nightmare in the Summer of 1816 with a Thunderclap of Inspiration
    Maccarone New York | Los Angeles ALEX DA CORTE "Why Frankenstein's Monster Haunts Queer Art" By Charlie Fox The New York Times, October 13, 2017 “I HAVE FOUND IT!” Mary Shelley remembered thinking when she awoke from a fateful nightmare in the summer of 1816 with a thunderclap of inspiration. “What terrified me will terrify others.” These terrors provided the raw material for “Frankenstein,” which she composed at 19 and published anonymously in London two years later, unleashing one of the great ogres of the imagination into the world. “I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out,” she wrote, “and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life.” To quote the mad doctor responsible for him in the 1931 Universal Pictures film: “It’s alive!” Now, as the 200th birthday of Shelley’s Monster — or, really, her monstrous allegory — fast approaches, he remains at large. Maccarone New York | Los Angeles But a monstrous allegory for what, exactly? Like all great myths, Shelley’s tale shape-shifts to suit any number of freaky interpretations without sacrificing the original’s hellacious powers. It could be a 19th-century premonition about the dangers of biotechnology, or a fable about the possibilities of male birth and all the horror such transgressions of the so-called natural invoke. Though “Frankenstein” also remains one of the most savage tales about father-son dysfunction, the Monster is a daddy, too, responsible in some ways for fantastic creations including Marilyn Manson; “The Rise of the Planet of the Apes” (2011), which turns, like Shelley’s tale, on the education of an “uncivilized” beast; and Rei Kawakubo’s “bump” dresses (1997), recently on view at the Met, which distort the bodies of their wearers to throw monstrous shadows.

  • FM 240 Frankenstein's Heirs: Mary Shelley's Novel and Film Adaptations
    FM 240 Frankenstein’s Heirs: Mary Shelley‘s Novel and Film Adaptations Seminar Leader: Matthias Hurst Advanced Module: Artists, Genres, Movements Course Times: Monday 10.45-12.15; Wednesday 10.45-12.15; weekly film screening Monday 19.30-22.00 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Tuesday, 13.30 - 15.00 Course Description This course is dedicated to Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus(1818) and its cultural repercussions, particularly as charted by the numerous adaptations of the book in film. The story of an ambitious scientist who, like God himself, creates life, but then fails to take responsibility for his creation, stands as a landmark in the tradition of Gothic fiction and is seen by many scholars as the first modern science fiction novel. The idea of the “mad scientist” and the human inclination to hubris, inspired by Frankenstein and his transgressive experiment, has become a pivotal motif in fantastic literature and film. As an imaginative (Romantic) response to the darker sides of enlightenment rationality, Shelley’s novel features ideas that are still relevant in our contemporary moment, namely the inherent potential dangers represented by human accomplishments in technology and the natural sciences as well as the need to conduct scientific research and experiments with due respect to ethical values. Seen from another perspective, the novel also presents the story of Frankenstein’s creature (the “monster") as a Bildungsroman: the existential drama of a sentient being left alone in a hostile world, a world deserted by God or any source of spiritual guidance.
