 Mary Shelley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley née Godwin (August 30, 1797 – February 1, 1851) was an English novelist who is perhaps equally famous as the wife of Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and as the author of Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus.
Mary consoled herself with her studies and with Percy, who would always be, despite disillusionment and tragedy, the love of her life.
Mary was tireless in promoting her late husband's work, including editing and annotating unpublished material.

 The Life of Mary Shelley
She was the only child of Mary Wollstonecraft, the famous feminist, and William Godwin, a philosopher and novelist.
Godwin taught Mary to read and spell her name by having her trace her mother's inscription on the stone.
This not a reflection of her courage and integrity but derived from socialization and the conventions placed on her by society.

 GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Biography of Mary Shelley
Mary (who was so lively that her father had nicknamed her Mercury) was frequently whipped for impertinence; rebellion came naturally to the headstrong Mary, and she refused to be subdued.
Though Mary was desolate, she remained dedicated to her son, Percy Florence.
Though the girls were given lessons in domesticity (cooking, cleaning, and other wifely duties) Mary could not feign interest in such pursuits: she would simply take up a book and let the dinner burn.

 Mary Shelly and Her Monster
She was the daughter of author and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and the liberal philosopher, William Godwin.
Her father's celebrity also gave Mary the opportunity to grow up in a home visited by some of the most celebrated Romantic poets of her day-Charles Lamb, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the man she was to fall deeply in love with, Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Mary Shelley would experience more pain in her own relatively short life, like the loss of her husband's son by Harriet, Charles Bysshe Shelley, making her son Percy the heir to his grandfather's fortune.

 J. Schuetz: Mary Shelley's The Last Man
With the death of her husband, and through her annotations to his poetical works, it appears as though Mary Shelley was attempting to recuperate the masculine idealism of her husband in order to reconcile it with domestic, communal comfort.
This remark echoes a comment that Mary Shelley had made in her annotations to Percy's poem, Prometheus Unbound, "Shelley believed that mankind had only to will that there should be no evil, and there would be none" (Complete Works 161).
Adrian's "craving for knowledge" and "impetuous courage" as well as his "love of freedom" (32), are all characteristics that Mary Shelley had bestowed on her husband in her journal entries and her editorial work.

And in posing this question, Shelly very deliberately raises her novel to an even more complex level: this is not merely the conflict of man and his creation, but also a questioning of God and his responsibility toward his creation.
While Mary Shelly might have been stylistically weak, her story was not.
That aside, and unlike such contemporaries as Jane Austen, author Mary Shelly has never been greatly admired for her literary style, which is often awkward.

 Review: Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
The greatest strength of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is that it illustrates both the good and evil qualities in each of its main characters.
As far as its faithfulness to the source material is concerned, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein frequently differs from the book on plot points, but the two are thematically in synch.
Only towards the end, when he finally grasps the full consequences of his actions, does the scientist capture a measure of our understanding.

 The Literary Gothic Mary Shelley
As if this weren't enough, Mary Shelley's mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, had a relationship (not quite a sexual affair, apparently, to Wollstonecraft's disappointment) with Henri Fuseli, a fact which Mary Shelley knew.
Relatively few people know that the Frankenstein they read is actually Mary Shelley's revised version of her novel, which provides the text used in most mass market editions.
The famous painting (or one version of it; Fuseli painted it twice) that inspired the description of Elizabeth's dead body flung across her bridal bed just after her murder by the creature (in Chapter 23 of Frankenstein).

 Nanotechnology and Mary Shelly
But regardless of one's understanding of Mary Shelly's book, I think the book gives one a good understanding of the feelings of the new sentient beings and the kind of things one should watch for when developing these new artifacts.
Unfortunately the way that book has been popularized in movies is completely distorted and is not what one could learn from the book itself.
But as I noted nothing can replace Mary Shelly's great classic.

Maybe the writing of Shelly and Verne represent their true amount of scientific knowledge they possess from what was allowed during their time.
I believe Shelly was not only pointing out the gender differences, but also differences between the existences of good and evil between Victor and the monster (his other half).
Even though Mary Shelley's Frankeinstein was written around 1830, it fits very well in the context we are living now, which is men playing God through clonage.

But when Victor considers the "race of demons" that might populate the world if he goes through with his plan to create a female companion for the "wretch," he clearly places monster reproductive biology at the center of his own anxieties.
When asked to explain why he has created a monstrous life form (one that would eventually destroy him), Mary's Victor Frankenstein offers an explanation based on the concept of "species." "A new species would bless me as its creator," he says to Captain Walton in the opening pages of the novel.

He arrived, and each day expected to hear of the landing of his friends; when that common messenger, the newspaper, brought him tidings to fill him with more than anxiety--with fear and agonizing doubt.

With the use of flashback, a dying Dr. Viktor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) divulges a tale of gruesome terror to a sea captain (Aidan Quinn): As a medical student, the rebellious Frankenstein elaborates on the work of a brilliant scientist (John Cleese), successfully bringing to life a "man" assembled from the body parts of corpses.
In the meantime, the nameless creature struggles with loneliness and rejection from society until he sets out to track down his creator in search of one of two things: a bride to keep him company or revenge.
Director Kenneth Branagh's interpretation of Mary Shelley's classic horror novel stars Robert DeNiro as a terrifying monster created in an obsessive attempt to defeat death and stretch the limits of medicine in the early 19th century.
