“Iron Man” is a superhero, but “Iron Woman” is a commandment. Although these statements may be ridiculous, they convey an important message that goes back centuries. Over the years, the world has been socially unified with one similarity: the culture of a patriarchal society. A patriarchal society is a social society in which men are the primary authority figures, owning property and holding political leadership. When such important roles are taken on by men, women on the other end are expected to be obedient, silent and useless (except in household chores). History has many examples in books, morality, and real life in which women are known, throughout culture, as unimportant. A classic novel, Frankenstein, also shares this fact about women. Women are portrayed as weak throughout Mary Shelly's novel Frankenstein because they are dependent on men, treated like property, and powerless in difficult times. Some may believe that women were portrayed as being strong in the novel through the act of sacrifice. and by their potential to bring about big changes. Justine was a character who enjoyed a solid reputation in history. She was described as strong because she was not afraid to die when the townspeople framed her for murder for William's death. “I'm not afraid to die” (Shelley 76) are fearless words that come out of Justine and are so strong because they give Justine respect for what she has done from her current family members , and this makes Victor guilty because he didn't confess to what she did. true cause of William's death. Although the death of a woman portrayed her as strong, the non-existence of a woman also made her appear strong in the novel. When Frankenstein mentions the downsides of creating a female creature, he says how "middle of paper......nging, "I considered...Elizabeth as mine – mine to protect, love and cherish. » (23). Elizabeth is not the only woman to be portrayed as weak; Caroline Beaufort is also weak. When her father becomes poor, he also falls very ill and is taken care of by his daughter, but after his death, no one is there to take care of her. It was at this time that “he came as a protective spirit” (20) and saved Caroline from the continuation of a bad life. This indirectly shows how weak Caroline was because she was saved and "protected" by Frankenstein's father. Throughout the novel, women are depicted and described as weak creatures who are not capable of experiencing difficult circumstances in life. Although this may be true in the novel Frankenstein, real life is not like that these days. Even though there is no distinct, entirely patriarchal society, many cultures still show this..
