Blackcurrant Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Give a couple of examples what you want to convey in terms of of the passive woman in Frankenstein and how this is an illustration of the "flawed" society... It may just help kick start some ideas for your creative IOP ... 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackcurrant Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Ok, then how about you play one of these passive women ( who perhaps can speak on behalf of some of the others -- so she should one of the aware and enlightened ones) addressing the author in an interview and posing questions and making points. Or, you can play the author. Either way, a critical discussion like this is an interesting, lively, and engaging way to bring out authorial choices and display your understanding of ideology, culture, and reading practices. You'll need a swift, smart friend to play the other role.If you think neither character nor author has sufficient cultural/critical distance to self or work, then bringing in a feminist, deconstructionist or Marxist theorist can provide that missing ingredient (spice).
