Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was a radical feminist who died after giving birth to Mary, and her father, William Godwin, raised her alone. Mary left home at 16, married Percy Shelley after his first wifes suicide, and wrote Frankenstein in a writers challenge from Lord Byron in 1816-1817. The story, based on a horrendous vision, was composed during sweeping life changes. Frankenstein was published anonymously in 1818. However, the story is enduring in its psychological drama, questions asked, and memorable characterizations. The story has adapted to many forms, with each adaptation telling a very different version of Shelleys original tale.Frankenstein was a truly genius in science. Yet he didnt develop a full-fledged character. While he was obsessed in his horrid experiment, he never thought of the possibly tragic consequence. The pursuit of success and the prospect of creating a whole new race preoccupied his mind and barred him from rational reasoning. When it was finally finished, realizing it was not the consummation of his career, but rather the commencement of a serial catastrophe, he abandoned the poor creature, like a deformed baby left behind by their ruthless parents. It was Frankensteins irresponsibility that triggered the following tragedies. He shouldnt have created the creature; he shouldnt have abandoned it either. In no circumstances should anybody commit sins. In case it already came true one should do everything they can to amend it, rather than run away from it. Besides, he never had a practical plan or tried to think up one to tackle the situation. He spent all his time in moaning and groaning. Many a time he drowned himself in sadness, regardless of the creature he set loose to the world. Men dont act like that! Maybe God is fair. He bestowed Frankenstein an exceptionally brilliant brain, yet didnt bestow a mind strong enough to sustain the pain.Chapter 2 Literary ReviewFrankenstein was a truly genius in science.

He shouldnt have created the creature; he shouldnt have abandoned it either.Chapter 3 Freuds Death InstinctFreud put forward a triple personality theory, namely the id, ego, superego. The id, ego and superego are always conflicting, especially the id and superego are often in a state of irreconcilable antagonism.3.1 The First Function Part of Human Personality-IdIn the Freudian system, the Id is the container of the instinctual urges. It is the unconscious part of mind, which seeks immediate sat is faction of desires. It is concerned with what a person wants to do. 3.2 The Second Function Part of Human Personality-EgoEgo is the rational, thoughtful, realistic personal ity process. It is characterized by a desire for independence, autonomy and self direction. It is concerned with what a person can do. 3.2 The Third Function Part of Human Personality-SuperegoSuperego is the idealized image that a person builds of himself in response to authority and social pressures. Chapter 4 Analysis Frankensteins tragedy from Freuds Death Instinct4.1 The Combination of Science Fantasy and Gothic HorrorMonster is a more primitive life forms, here, Freuds death instinct and survival instinct will appear obviously, and he is a necessity unacceptable man precisely. 4.2 The Circumstances of Death and the Monsters RevengeDeath is the end of the monster, when the death instinct turned to the outside world, the monster will project death instinct on the creator and the creator family. And when the monster project death instinct on himself, he will blame and resent himself, and finally, resulting to suicide.Chapter 5 The inspiration of FrankensteinEthics and Law is one of a road, but the road is implemented by limiting human behaviors. And art shape a new world, thats also a platform for us to think about the problems of reality. In this world, all the unreasonable situations will not cause real tragedies.Chapter 6 ConclusionFreuds id theory reflects one of his dissatisfactions with modern civilization. He believed that modern civilization will bring unhappy results by its limits to people, and in such a modern civilized society, both sex and aggressive impulses will be suppressed, so he is dissatisfaction. Freuds theory has not only reasonable aspects, but also biases. However, his theory indeed provides a new perspective for human to understand themselves and the world created by them.Bibliography1 弗洛伊德.精神分析引论新编M.高觉敷译.北京:商务印书馆,1987:84. 2 玛丽雪莱.弗兰肯斯坦M.刘新民译.上海:上海译文出版社,2007:48.3 弗洛伊德S自我与本我M林尘,张唤民,陈伟奇,译上海:上海译文出版社,20114 WILLIAM JThe egoJThe British Medical Journal,1927,1(3465)5 雅各布斯 M精
