Frankenstein Role of women

Elizabeth Lavenza

Elizabeth Lavenza Elizabeth Lavenza is the orphan child taken in by the Frankenstein family. She was lovingly raised with Victor Frankenstein; later becomes Victor's wife and is killed by the monster on their honeymoon. Elizabeth played by Mae Clarke in James Whale's 1931 Frankenstein.

Her effect on Frankenstein. Role of Elizabeth (I) While Elizabeth Lavenza might not initially seem to be a highly influential character in Frankenstein, the characteristics she has and the themes she represents greatly impact the reading of the novel. The novel can be considered a feminist piece of literature. Elizabeth is characterised as stereotypical passive. Elizabeth is given the role of performing the basic duties of a housewife without a choice when her adoptive mother dies. She develops a passive attitude in that she always looks out for Victor and the rest of the family, and puts her role as a mother above her own grief.

Her effect on Frankenstein. Role of Elizabeth (II) Elizabeth stays at home, while Victor is studying at university and beginning his project of creating the monster. As a character, she is the counterpart to Victor not only as a lover, but as an opposite member of the novel in which she balances his characteristics. Victor would not appear as adventurous, intelligent, determined or crazy, if the novel did not present her as a contrasting character. While Elizabeth repeatedly sacrifices herself throughout the novel, it leads towards her ultimate sacrifice, when she is ruthlessly killed by the monster.

How the monster uses her to get to Frankenstein After the monster begs Victor to create a mate for him and he agrees, he is furious when Victor destroys it before completion and vows "I will be with you on your wedding-night." This grim foreboding turns out to be true; on the day of Elizabeth’s marriage to Victor, the monster breaks into the bridal suite and strangles her. Her death is significant because it gives Victor a unique understanding of his creation; he now knows what it feels like to be completely alone in the world, with nothing to live for but revenge.

Safie

Safie and her relationship with the De Lacey family Safie was the daughter of a Turkish merchant, adopted by the De Lacey family. Her father's arrest leads Felix to vow to free him, and this attracts Safie to him. Before his scheduled execution, he frees the Turk and reunites him with Safie.

Safie and her relationship with the De Lacey family (II) When the De Lacey family is imprisoned for assisting in his escape, the treacherous Turk, for whom he and his family endured such unheard-of oppression, is thus reduced to poverty and impotence. Safie’s father was perceived as a traitor to good feeling and honour, and had to leave Italy with his daughter. Safie, averse to the thought of living in Turkey, fled with her father and travelled to Germany to stay with the De Laceys.

Why can´t they get married? What does Felix want? Felix wanted to free Safie's father, because he promised his daughter’s hand in marriage if he managed to free him. Why can´t they get married? Safie’s father, when he was released by Felix, lied and wasn’t willing to allow Felix to marry Safie. He promised his daughter’s hand if he was released, but then didn’t fulfill his promise.
