The Trauma of Parental Rejection in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

This analytical essay explores Frankenstein as an exploration of parental anxieties, family dynamics, and ambivalent relationships between creator and created. The student traces these themes back to Genesis, arguing that Victor abnegated his position of power when he, unlike God creating Adam, failed to design the monster's appearance so he could survive among humans.

Bridget's feedback:

"Your discussion achieves depth in exploring the various angles of family, gender, and anxiety. Incorporating other commentators further deepens the conversation with the literature, enhancing the argumentation and ethos. Overall, your engagement with the text is evident.

Frequent punctuation errors, as well as some awkward diction, does have an impact on readability. Comma errors in particular will cause clarity issues, so I recommend a careful proofread to clean up the text and make sure your reader can focus on the ideas without distraction. As a final comment, refer to the author by her last name (not "Mary"), after the first full usage."
