Frankenstein Romanında Bilim Adamı Figürünün Şekillenmesi

Bu makalede, Mary “Frankenstein” romanında bilim adamı figürünün incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Roman 20. Yüzyıl başlarında bilimin yerini tartışmakta ve bilim konusunda son derece kapsamlı bilgiler sunmaktadır. Makalede, Shelly’nin bilime karşı karamsar bakış açısı, Faust sonrası dönemde bilimsel girişimlerin şartlarını ortaya koyan bir resim ile aydınlatıcı ayrıntıların farkına varılmasının önüne geçtiği düşünülmektedir. Romanında bilim adamı, Rönesans’ta bilimin dallara ayrılmasından ve çeşitli alt dalların ve disiplinlerin ortaya çıkmasındaki şaşkınlığını belirtmektedir. Frankenstein ve Walton, Faustian paradigmasının bilimi ve on dokuzuncu yüzyılın yeni ortaya çıkmakta olan bilimsel davranışları arasında bölünmüş geçiş döneminin uzman ve özverili bilim insanlarıdır. Ayrıca makalede, romanın kahramanı Frankeştayn’ın büyük kusurunun bilimsel kibir olduğu tartışılmaktadır.

The Moulding of the Scientist Individual in Frankenstein

This article aims at examining the fashioning of the scientistfigure in Mary Shelley`s Frankenstein. The article suggests thatthe novel is informative about the status of science at thebeginning of the nineteenth century. Shelley`s pessimisticattitude towards science precludes noticing the embedded andinformative particulars which, if put together, can produce acomprehensible image about the circumstances of scientificventures in the post-Faustian era. This article shows that inFrankenstein the scientist is perplexed by the branching of theRenaissance sciences and fields and the birth of new subfieldsand disciplines. Frankenstein and Walton are the specializedand devoted scientists of the transitional era who are dividedbetween the science of the Faustian paradigm and the newlyemerging scientific conduct of the nineteenth century. Thearticle argues that the tragic fate of the hero in the novel isbrought about by scientific hubris
