초록
This paper aims to show the potential of Frankenstein which is can be read as a children's literature. Frankenstein has been read as one of the gothic and fantasy novels since it was published in 1818. However there are several reasons that we can consider Frankenstein as a children's literature. I used a very famous children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as a tool to explain and support those reasons, because there are some common factors between two novels. Firstly, both Frankenstein and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland use dream vision as a fantasy literature. Through this, vivid and intense image of the monster and Alice can be made and then they become an archtype in the heart of the readers. Secondly, the matter of the body is critical to both monster and Alice. They can recognize their own identity by means of the body and then eventually they can grow and proceed to the next step in their lives. In this respect, they can be regarded as buildungsroman. Lastly, Frankenstein and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland focus more on oral language than written language. These novels use dialogue which can be more intimate and persuasive so that it can give the readers fun and impression. Although Frankenstein has not been regarded as a children's novel, I can see many aspects that can be ones of a children's literature. Like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Frankenstein is familiar to children and adults. By studying Frankenstein as a children's literature, we can expand the base of the novel.
