Abstract

The process of the creation of the Monster by Frankenstein in Frankenstein shares difference and similarity with the theory of Marx’s labor alienation. The similarity is they both going far away from the goal of life’s self-expression, while the difference is their different motivation. The former one is out of curiosity and desire, but the later one is out of the burden of life’s pressure.
The thesis is divided into three parts. In Chapter One, I make an introduction of the novel and its author. In Chapter Two, I introduce the experiences of the character Frankenstein’s  monster creation and his alienation. In addition, I introduce the concept of Marx’s labor alienation and analyze them in detail. In Chapter Three, I find out the similarity and the difference of Frankenstein’s monster creation and Marx’s labor alienation.
Through a comparative study of Frankenstein’s creating the monster and Marx’s labor alienation, we can realize the importance of the realization of mankind’s life behavior of self-expression. Once people’s behavior goes away from their goal of life’s self-expression, work will go alienation, thus disaster will come to the victim and even the whole human race.

摘要

弗兰肯斯坦中主人公的怪物创造与马克思劳动异化之间具有异同之处：相似之处是两种劳动都偏离人的生命活动自我表现目标；相异之处是前者主观上出于好奇和自愿，后者客观上出于生活所迫。
本文分为三个部分。在第一章中，介绍了这本小说的作者及这本小说。在第二章中，我着重介绍了小说中主人公的怪物创造经历及异化过程并提出了马克思劳动异化观并做详细介绍。在第三章中，分析比较并发现弗兰肯斯坦中主人公的怪物创造与马克思的劳动异化之间的异同。
通过两者比较,我们可以意识到人的生命活动的自我再现目标的重要性，一旦人的活动偏离了自我再现的目标，劳动便会发生异化，给自身以及他人甚至全人类带来灾难.
