Re: The Zionist Likudniks may have overreached themselves this time. We shall see. But a big backlash against them is inevitable if they persist on their current warmongering course. Parent-Child Dynamics One of the most applicable interpretations of Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus approaches the novel from a relational dynamics point of view. While there are similiarities to the moral educative point of view this relational approach touches on the deeper psychological roots of monster-making. The dynamics of doom are set up by the abhorance of the parent for the child. Victor Frankenstein's idealism prepared him for a idyllic relationship. Instead of the expected adulation by his offspring, he was immediately confronted with the creature's loathsomeness and his own responsibility. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room, continued a long time traversing my bed chamber, unable to compose my mind to sleep. Victor's disillusionment with parenthood, more particularly mothering, led to post-partum depression and neglect. Victor himself had no one at his side encouraging him or advising him of what to do with what he had created. His entire venture was done in secret, in self-imposed isolation. Through his obsession he isolated himself from any form of community. While bringing his child into the world he was himself alienated from society. Parenting had become for him an issue of possession, ownership and self aggrandizement. One could say that Victor lived for and through his child or what that child promised until that child became a separate being from him. Victor in essence experienced the burden of loneliness in parenting and didn't have the character to cope with it. [...] watershed.winnipeg.mb.ca
