  4. 3. Frankenstein, or the Voice of Chaos - A Psychoanalytical Reading of Mary Shelley's Journey Into the Subconscious of a Gifted Mind

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för språk och litteraturer

    Författare :Filip V Svensson; [2013-06-27]
    Nyckelord :Frankenstein; Mary Shelley; Sigmund Freud; Abraham Maslow; David Hume; James T. Webb; psychoanalysis; implied author; giftedness;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this essay is to trace "Frankenstein" back to its origin in an attempt to revisit the creative "chaos" behind Shelley's gothic horror story, in order to unveil a hitherto undiscovered latent meaning that lurks behind the narrative structure. By subjecting Shelley's "Frankenstein" to a psychoanalysis that draws on Freud in focusing on the "dream" as wish fulfillment, while showing how a formalist approach can be a part of psychoanalysis by the introduction of Maslowian theory, along with the incorporation of a proposed cognitive disposition of the implied author into the analysis - this essay, in a sense, seeks not only to offer an original reading of Mary Shelley's "hideous progeny", but also to revive the (in the wake of New Criticism) somewhat forgotten author herself.
