Abstract
In this paper, I will be presenting my thesis on the literary construct of otherness in Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus. Shelley’s work has been a staple of popular culture for over two centuries, since 1818, when it was first published. The concept of otherness applies to Frankenstein through its monster – the ‘‘Other’’ is that which stands in opposition with the norm, with the ‘‘Self’’. I shall endeavour to contextualize the novel in the historical and modern literary criticism. This paper will corroborate the concept of otherness, shining light on the feminist readings of Shelley’s novel, as well as the feminist relation to otherness. Furthermore, the point of view of the queer otherness will be utilized, showing Frankenstein’s long lasting impact in the LGBTQIA+ community. The relation of otherness with race and colonialism will also be touched on. Finally, this paper will address the hidden otherness in science itself.
