In Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein," the female characters are constructed as passive and domestic. The female characters, such as Elizabeth and Justine, are primarily defined by their relationships to the male characters and their ability to provide support and care for those male characters. The male characters, including Victor and the monster, often treat the female characters with a lack of agency and disrespect.
Victor and the monster do differ in their views of women. Victor sees women as objects to be protected and revered, while the monster views them as inferior beings. The monster is enraged by the lack of attention and care given to him by his creator, and this anger is directed towards the women in the novel as well. He sees them as inferior and disposable, and therefore treats them with cruelty and violence. In contrast, Victor's love for Elizabeth drives him to protect her at all costs, even sacrificing his own happiness to ensure her safety.
Overall, Shelley's construction of the female characters in the novel highlights the unequal treatment of women in society and the ways in which their worth is often tied to their relationships with men. The difference in how Victor and the monster view women also serves as a commentary on the destructive potential of male entitlement and the need for men to recognize and respect the agency and autonomy of women.
