Taking into account her miscarriages, I wonder if she used Frankenstein as a “what if” scenario. “What if” she could create life without the chance of miscarrying, would it turn out the way she expected?

I think reading the story as an expression of post-partum depression is a fascinating concept. After all, as we referred to in class, Frankenstein has a rather feminine role as a “creator.” Was Shelley married at the time of her miscarriage? If not, that would put an extremely fascinating, moral implication to the act of creation that Frankenstein so quickly regrets!
