Plato - Cave
Freud - 3 parts of personality
Jung - archetypes
Campbell - quest wheel
Dialectics - thesis + antithesis = synthesis
conflict creates new things (not necessarily negative)
putting things into new associations or coming up with new ideas from opposing arguments and concepts
argument like this, to be positive, requires confidence, acceptance, recognition of the best idea without ego, and ability to find new positions for yourself
conflict creates change - change is good
is there a way of taking a dialectic approach to Frankenstein?
maybe - are there clashes of ideas that create new ideas?
the most common use of dialectic is argument and essay -
Feminist criticism
Deconstruction - breaking open the material and looking for specific elements that fit into, or contribute to, theories and ideas
ie looking for feminist ideas, religious, technological, scientific, etc
Frankenstein
the book is written by a teenage girl
it’s about a monster created by a man (men)
it is judged by its looks, which are horrid
it is sensitive and only wants to be normal and feel loved and have companionship
it is a creature who becomes bitter and seeks vengeance
it would not be a bad idea to consider the concerns of modern teenage girls as being pertinent to this book
