Victor describes Elizabeth as "the most fragile creature in the world" (65) showing that he feels superior to her. Since the women are mainly confined to the home, they are naive and are not as prepared for the outside world as the men are. (Mellor, 276).

While Walton is far away from home on a "long and difficult voyage" (51) Margaret ... way in which women in her time were treated, they had potential that demanded acknowledgment. In he period of the early to mid 1800's, which is when Frankenstein was created, Shelley lived in a world in which she, as a woman, was virtually powerless.

He helped her none with what was most important, establishing her own private poetic method, but he was a friendly ear and a mentor during the most troubling years of her life. Higginson never understood ... Up to her mid-twenties, she had lived the kind of social life expected of the daughter of an distinguished citizen, but as she moved towards her thirties, she started to withdraw from the outside world, and by the time she was approaching forty, her seclusion was virtually complete.

She writes finely, but no one ever sees her." (Leyda, ??) The cause for Emily’s seclusiveness is somewhat unknown, but perhaps she was tired of the rejection of the world.

- 7413: Critique Pedagogy Of Praxis
- ... first chapter of Gadotti's book is concerned with the conception and method of dialectics. Hegel's dialectics take a step down to Marx and Engel's dialectics. "Hegel's dialectics were limited to the world of spirit, Gadotti espouses, while Marx inverts this, and explains the evolution of the material, of nature, and of mankind itself. Marx's dialectics is not merely a method to arrive at the truth. It is a conception of man, society, and the relationship between man and the world.

- 7414: Tintern Abbey
- ... restoration Wordsworth has changed from the state of observing to the state of recalling his unremembered pleasures[s] (31).

It is the abbey, in which the heavy and the weary weight of all this unintelligible world, is lightened and makes him become a living soul . (40-49) Wordsworth was claiming that his perception of nature brings life to him. Wordsworth acted as if he had gained an inner peace and appreciation ... those thoughts were what had comforted and encouraged him to connect with nature through his mind. He wanted to affirm to his readers that his mind not only receives sensation and knowledge from the outside world (nature) but it also half creates by its (minds) own perception of eye, and ear (106). One example is when he had previously described returning to the Wye and how it had brought him ...

But, if we had not ... its harsh order and its scientific ideals. This critical language is often used to describe the oedipal nature of Gothic.
