experimentation, Shelley typifies the Romantic Movement as she forebodes her enlightened society of playing God. Her warning permeates through the character of Victor, whose self-aggrandising diction “many excellent natures would owe their being to me” represents a society engrossed with reanimation. Shelley moreover questions the morality her microcosm’s pursuit of omnipotence through Victor’s retrospection “lost all soul or sensation but for this one pursuit”, as the juxtaposition of “all” and “one” emphasises

Women remained outside of the organised labour movement because of deeply engrained misogynistic attitudes. This is not to say that women were inactive in political rebellion. In Russia, many women momentarily stepped beyond their culturally imposed passivity and submissiveness in the wake of open rebellion. As Barbara Engel argues, they argued mainly as wives to defend traditional structures of family and community. The inability for socialist organisations to include women into the

restricted and dogmatic is not entirely true. This film presents a convincing challenge to the concept of orientalism and it showed how the stereotypical images set by the western of the orient are not entirely correct. This is evident through the scene when Marjane is about to marry, her mother is found crying the bathroom because she is upset over the fact that her daughter is giving her life away when she wanted her to be liberated, literate and independent.

There is no doubt that the Promethean tradition has become an everyday aspect of literary and artistic society: Shakespearean

“Don’t forget who you are and where you come from” (Satrapi 152). It doesn’t really matter if you like your family or not; they will always have some sort of effect on the way you think about life, the way you act within situations and the morals you eventually believe in. It doesn’t necessarily have to be good things that affect you either. Sometimes it’s the difficult situations that make you stronger.

This division of people may be outside of an individual’s or group of people’s control. This division of people may be driven by socioeconomic, geographic, political, ideological or technological reasons. There may be individuals in power that will dictate where classes of people should live and work. The divisions of people
