Autobiography in Shelley's Frankenstein and Rousseau's Confessions
[ send me this paper ]
Barbara Johnson has posited the idea that autobiography is always in the process of symbolically killing the mother off by narrating the fiction as though it were the child one has given birth to and that represents the author. In Jean Jacques Rousseau's Confessions the premise of an autobiography is not in question. The book does not end with his death, but rather with his life alone. In Shelley's Frankenstein, the creator (Victor) and the creation (the Monster) are both seen as extensions of aspects of the author, mirrored in behavior and psychological representations of the self, which are ultimately ended either by death or a return to solitude. This 7 page paper argues that Johnson's theory, at least in the abstract, is seen as valid and worthy of discussion. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
