Mary Shelley

Author Mary Shelley shows Dr. Frankenstein unable to take care of and/or  "mother" the creature because he has no experience in that area. The point that she is trying to get across to her audiance is that the women in that era where known for taking care of the kids while the men worked. In showing how hard the job was showing how hard a woman's job really was in that time by having to watch the children, clean the house, and tend to the yard.

    I also read that she, at 19 was already married with children & thoughts of dead children haunted her. Do you think that has anthing to do with her writing this novel?

    Yeah, probably because her imagination was at it's best.
