Abstract

Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus which was published in 1818 is the best-known work of Mary Shelley, the wife of Percy Shelley. Mary is one of the most significant female writers during the period of English Romanticism from the late of eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century. As an influential Gothic novel, Frankenstein aroused widespread attention around the whole world. It is still considered as the model of Gothic novel and the first true science fiction nowadays. Since this novel embodies a lot of ecofeminist values which appeal to the harmonious relationships between human beings and the nature, as well as men and women, in order to build a more sustainable society, this paper attempts to analyze Frankenstein from the perspective of ecofeminism.
