Abstract:I discuss several mirror scenes in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to demonstrate what I call being-becoming-monster, a phrase meant to emphasize that the being’s monstrosity is not an attribute of his beingness but emerges in relation to the gaze of others and his own view of himself through the eyes of others. I then perform an interior duplication of my own analysis by turning to reanimations of these mirror scenes in two graphic Frankenstein narratives—first, Frankenstein: The Graphic Novel, part of a series that makes classic novels more appealing to young readers, and second, comic artist Bernie Wrightson’s illustrated edition of Shelley’s novel. In the spirit of Shelley’s text and the creature it amalgamates, I assemble many component parts—mise en abyme, textual and graphic mirror scenes, animation and self-reflection, sympathy and ill feeling—in order to consider the comorbid conditions of the Creature’s being-becoming-monster and Frankenstein’s becoming ill.

成为怪物：平面弗兰肯斯坦叙事中的镜子和镜像

摘要：我讨论了玛丽·雪莱的《科学怪人》中的几个镜像场景，以展示我所谓的成为怪物的东西，这个短语旨在强调存在的怪物不是他的存在的属性，而是与他人和他自己的注视有关。用别人的眼光看自己。然后，我通过在两个图形化的弗兰肯斯坦叙事中对这些镜像场景的再现进行内部复制来执行我自己的分析——首先，弗兰肯斯坦：图形小说，这是使经典小说对年轻读者更具吸引力的系列的一部分，其次，漫画艺术家伯尼·赖特森 (Bernie Wrightson) 的雪莱小说插图版。本着雪莱的文字和它所融合的生物的精神，我组装了许多组成部分——深思熟虑、文字和图形镜像场景、动画和自我反思，
