Autobiography in Shelley's Frankenstein
and Rousseau's
Confessions : Barbara Johnson has posited the idea that
autobiography is always in the process of symbolically
killing the mother off by narrating the fiction as though it
were the child one has given birth to and that represents the
author. In Jean Jacques Rousseau's Confessions the premise
of an autobiography is not in question. The book does not
end with his death, but rather with his life alone. In Shelley's
Frankenstein, the creator (Victor) and the creation (the
Monster) are both seen as extensions of aspects of the author,
mirrored in behavior and psychological representations of the
self, which are ultimately ended either by death or a return to
solitude. This 7 page paper argues that Johnson's theory, at
least in the abstract, is seen as valid and worthy of
discussion. Bibliography lists 6 sources. KTfrnbio.wps
