 note = {The purpose of this essay is to examine the influence of British Imperialism on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein written in the early nineteenth century. Since the 1970s, Shelley’s literary works have attracted serious critical attention, though beforehand the research mainly focused on her relationships between the two main males in her life; her father, William Godwin, and her husband, Percy Shelley. Feminism represents the critical perspective most applied to Frankenstein. Since the 1990s, other viewpoints such as cultural studies have been enhancing the research on Mary Shelley. Unfortunately studies of Shelley, as well as that of the Romantic period in general, have not discussed in depth the influence of expanding colonialism on literature. In order to look at the influence of colonialism in the book Frankenstein, the setting of the novel and the life of three main characters are discussed. These characters include the protagonist Frankenstein, his friend Clerval, and the English explorer Walton. They signify the Western explorers who attempted to make the unknown parts of nature knowable. From this perspective, this paper focuses on Frankenstein’s creature who came into existence as a result of Frankenstein’s pursuit of “nature to her hiding-places.”This would suggest that the creature is a substantiation of fears felt by the British about looming nonwhite peoples during the Imperial regime. The fear did not come from any innate character within non-white peoples but rather arising from the images that Western culture constructed about them.},
