About the work
My aim is to explore the biography of Mary Shelley as the main source of
inspiration for Frankenstein. Bearing this purpose in mind I will briefly outline her
biography, paying attention to those aspects that influenced the composition of
Frankenstein. I will also explore her relationship with her father, William Godwin, and
her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, on whom I consider the character of Victor
Frankenstein is based. Then I will explore the character of the creature and its
relationship with Mary Shelley herself. Another chapter is devoted to the influence of
Shelley’s parents as outstanding figures of their age in education and philosophy. I also
want to include a brief exploration of Mary’s unconscious desires that are undoubtedly
reflected in the novel, as well as an insight into the features common to her most
important novels that are based on her own life. And finally I will revise other minor
sources used for the composition of Frankenstein.
