This episode explores how Frankenstein silences women while giving men unreliable, self-serving narratives. Elizabeth, Justine and Safie are reduced to symbols or victims, while mothers are absent and the female creature is destroyed. We connect this to AO1 key events, AO2 analysis of silenced voices versus male narration, AO3 context from Wollstonecraft, Romantic culture and Gothic tradition, and AO5 feminist and psychoanalytic readings that expose Shelley’s critique of patriarchy.
