5. 4. Frankenstein, or the Voice of Chaos - A Psychoanalytical Reading of Mary Shelley's Journey Into the Subconscious of a Gifted Mind

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för språk och litteraturer

   Author : Filip V Svensson; [2013-06-27]
   Keywords : Frankenstein; Mary Shelley; Sigmund Freud; Abraham Maslow; David Hume; James T. Webb; psychoanalysis; implied author; giftedness;

   Abstract : The aim of this essay is to trace "Frankenstein" back to its origin in an attempt to revisit the creative "chaos" behind Shelley's gothic horror story, in order to unveil a hitherto undiscovered latent meaning that lurks behind the narrative structure.
