Frankenstein - A Feminist Novel for Girls and Boys

Elia Barceló

We see „Frankenstein“ as a romantic gothic for a young readership, adding ironical twists to an unconventional lovestory that keeps the reader intrigued to the very last page.

Nora is an emancipated young woman, studying and living on her own, with both her parents abroad. Max is from another, altogether different world where courtly rules apply and science is looking for new ways to understand the phenomenon of live and humanity. Max is from the eighteenth century, Nora is a girl from the twentyfirst. They meet when Max visits Nora’s world through a time door and have to separate when Max goes back to 1783. But Nora decides to follow him into his universe and their story attracts us into an atmospheric and wonderfully built world where women had few rights and men a lot of obligations.
