چکیده (انگلیسی):

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) has been critically analyzed from both masculine
and feminine aspects.In this paper, my focus will be to highlight the fact that all the
characters do try to conform to their socially assigned roles of being a male or a
female but very often they are not able to hide their androgynous state of possessing
both male and female characteristics. This paper tends to highlight the endeavor on
the part of the female author to seek equality by consciously diminishing the
concept of male superiority over the female and portraying that both function
simultaneously in an individual and thus there is a conscious blurring of the
differences. It focuses primarily on the imbalance that is caused if one tries to negate
the role of androgyny. Harmony can be attained only in unification.
