1. Frankenstein and the Timelessness of Queer Identities: Teaching Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein through Queer Theory in the Upper-Secondary EFL classroom
L3-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Engelska; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för engelskaSammanfattning : This paper analyses the pivotal gothic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley through a close queer reading, focusing on excerpts featuring the artificially created creature and their maker, Victor Frankenstein. The queer perspective is applied to the gender identity and expression of the creature, which is a reading that lends itself to the teaching of the novel to Swedish upper-secondary students because of the timelessness of the themes and its close ties to the 2022 recommendations of the Swedish National Agency for Education regarding sexuality, consent, and relationships.

2. Using Frankenstein to promote democratic valueswhen teaching English 7 and Social science 3 : A study on how teachers can use Frankenstein as teaching material topromote the democratic values and critical thinking
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, Örebro universitet/Institutionen för humaniora, utbildnings- och samhällsvetenskapSammanfattning : This study will be potentially beneficial to teachers as it guides them on how they can work with important but often neglected aspects of the curricula by using the book Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley. My thesis statement is that goals from the core contents of English 7 and Social science 3 syllabuses are intertwined and have a connection to democratic values and, as I demonstrate in the analysis that follows, can be taught in connection by using Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) as a method and Frankenstein as the content from which this collaboration can be created.

4. A Narratological Comparison of the Morals of Herbert West and Victor Frankenstein : Traces of Prometheus through Shelley towards Lovecraft
Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för språk (SPR)Sammanfattning : This essay explores the influence of contemporary values in two iterations of the Greek Prometheus myth and argues that the events portrayed in the two texts follow the structure of the myth and that the discourse in the texts shows traces of contemporary moral values. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) is used as a starting point, but the focus is on Howard Phillip Lovecraft’s “Herbert West: Reanimator” (1922) as a later iteration of the Prometheus myth. LÄS MER
5. Frankenstein; or, the trials of a posthuman subject : An investigation of the Monster in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and his attempt at acquiring human subjectivity in a posthuman state
Kandidat-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/EngelskaSammanfattning : Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley and the characters within, tell a prominent story of the posthuman condition in a society where humanist thought is the only conception of subjectivity. The use of not only posthuman studies, but more specifically studies including subjectivity was needed, in order to analyse the relationship between the humanist and the posthuman subjects. LÄS MER
