AB - This essay analyzes the monster in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein from the perspective of thehuman nonhuman network, which I propose to call Homo monstercus. In the 19th century Britishnovels, monsters functioned as metaphors of the Other, or as allegories of human nature. Thatexplains why psychology, feminism, psychoanalysis, and postcolonialism were introduced to explainthe nature of the monstrosity of the monster. While previous studies have focused on the mechanismof transforming Dr. Frankenstein s creature to a monster, in this paper I will reinterpret such processof transformation from the vantage point of contemporary philosophies of science, such as GilbertSimondon’s ‘theory of individuation , Gilles Deleuze s becoming , and Bruno Latour and MichelCallon s Actor Network Theory (ANT).
