Mary Shelley and Jonathan Swift were completely us” (Swift, 73). Swift doesn't think highly of maids. Swift in general portrays women, even his wife, in a rather unfair way. The Brobdingnag girls “stripped to the skin and put on their blouses in my presence, while I was placed on their toilets right in front of their naked bodies, which I am sure was a far cry for me. 'be a tempting spectacle. , or to give me emotions other than those of horror and disgust. » (Swift 133) Gulliver's thoughts are clearly addressed to the youth of Swift's time. Unlike Swift's writings, Shelly's Frankenstein depicts women in an esteemed manner. Women play an active role in Frankenstein, whether with Victor or Felix. In fact, the women help Victor develop in the reader's eyes, which is impossible to notice unless they are mentioned. Elizabeth is Victor's guide, before and after his maddening creative state. When Victor reunites with Elizabeth, he describes her romantically: “time has passed since I last saw her; it had endowed her with a beauty surpassing the beauty of her childhood years. (Shelly 67) This is the complete opposite of Gulliver. Whether it’s her mom, Justine or Elizabeth; Victor has positive encounters with women. It can also be noted that Frankenstein's monster “requires a creature of another sex…and that will satisfy me” (Shelly 135). This request asked by the monster is crucial because it shows the necessary interactions between men and women that Shelly, not Swift, shows. Although the two stories are completely different, they have an underlying theme that they both follow. All the main characters in both stories point out major human flaws. Gulliver and the Frankenstein monster are representations of human nature. Gulliver shows this through the people and societies he encounters during his travels. Swift, through Gulliver, depicts the flaws of modern religion with the disputes of the Lilliputians and their belief in breaking “eggs at the most convenient ends” (Swift 59). The reader quickly dismisses this conflict as laughable due to the absurdity of the dispute, and it is a perfect example of Swift's strange satirical powers. Swift leaves no group unscathed in her book. Gulliver, while traveling through the islands of Laputa, speaks of the scientists and their projects in these terms: "The only drawback is that none of these projects has yet reached perfection, and in the meantime, the the entire country is miserably devastated. » (Swift 196).
