The story to examine the way women and women's perspectives are represented in the different texts and possible factors in the treatment of women. This we examine biographical, socio-historical, and aesthetic factors contributing to the representations of women in the two Frankenstein. Shelley's personal vision influenced by her background, strong patriarchal values in the nineteenth century and limited women's roles in the literary society determined the limited portrayals of women in the novel. By contrast, the film, crucially influenced by the rise of feminism, and also by Branagh's positive experience of family warmth, presents women with more positive images and increases women's direct expressions, indirectly affirming women's significance. Superficially, representations of women in the film, then, seem to be more carefully and positively presented. However, there are some similarities in negative or limited portrayals of women in the two texts, implying the continuation of the marginalization of women in some respect. Women in the texts are similarly dominant in the limited domestic sphere, as ideal mothers and as wives or lovers subordinate to men. They are also similarly distant from scientific interest and scientific endeavor, which might be seen to indirectly continue prejudices concerning women's ability in relation to science. In contrast, men in both texts are dominant, powerful, active, intellectual and rational. The different characterization of women and men in the two texts reflects the presence of male power in early nineteenth century literary society and its perpetuation to some extent in the film industry at the end of the twentieth century
