"The recent motion picture version of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein hews closely to the plot of the novel while failing to capture its essential purpose. The full title of the movie is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but the possessive does not mean that this version can be considered mary Shelley's vision. Janet Maslin of the New York Times notes this when she writes that the film will not strike anyone as chiefly Mary Shelley's invention. Its principal architect is Kenneth Branagh. . . [who] takes on the godlike, idealistic young scientist's role while also directing this "Frankenstein" as an overheated romantic fable .
An examination of the book and the film shows where the attitudes ... "

Abstract
This paper provides a historical and theological investigation as to the role of Mary within the Church, specifically as to whether Mary should be considered espoused to God, the Father, or to Jesus the Son, or the spouse of the Holy Spirit. This work explores the development of the role of Mary from the viewpoint of the Church Fathers and how that development has taken place. This work also looks at the biblical and doctrinal basis relating to Mary's espousal and further explores the writings of St. Louis Marie De Montfort and St. Maximilan Kolbe in understanding the role of Mary as the spouse of the Holy Spirit.

From the Paper
"Votes were taken with the result being 1114 voting in favor of integration of the marian schema into the Church Constitution and 1074 in favor of a separate schema for Mary. It is stated that this division was reported by news media to be a split as to whether the authenticity of Mary as Mediatrix was to be adopted into the church however, in reality the only division among the Cardinals was as to whether a separate schema should be given to Mary.
Mary is held up as an example of what is termed a "total faith response to God". (McBride, 2003) Chapter VIII of Lumen Gentium states that the Old Testament is to be "understood in the light of further and full revelation." (LG #55) According to mariologist James O'Connor: "in the light of the fullness of revelation we are not 'reading back into' the documents something which is not really there, but something which is truly there but only fully understood when read in the perspective of the completed work." (O'Connor, 1986)"

Abstract
This extensive study investigates the role of the Virgin Mary in today's Protestant churches. The writer examines whether there currently exists an identifiable Protestant liturgical theology of Mary. The author further examines the most significant contemporary developments in Protestant Mariology. The author states that since this investigation seeks to uncover how everyday Protestants view Mary's role in their religion, the scope of research extends beyond scholarly texts. The author considers information from mass media resources like magazines, and less traditional media sources, such as websites to be a reflection of the popular view of Mary. According to the author, untraditional sources provide insight into how modern lay Protestants view Mary, if they honor her, or if they believe she should be honored. The paper further examines how church officials approach devotion to Mary, and if they desire pro-Marian changes in Protestantism. The potential controversy surrounding Mary in the Protestant church is also considered. The author hopes that information from a broad variety of practitioners will yield a suggestion about the modern state of Mary in the Protestant church and whether her role should change.

From the Paper
"Traditionally, at least in recent history, the Virgin Mary has not played a very large role in the various Protestant faiths. In fact, many modern Protestants only recall celebrating Mary during Christmas, and those celebrations were strictly limited to Mary's role in the birth of Christ rather than celebrating Mary's prophecies prior to Jesus' birth or the role that she played as Jesus' day-to-day parent. The Protestant attitude towards Mary contrasts starkly with Catholic and Orthodox attitudes, which celebrate Mary in several different ways. To Catholics, Mary was chosen to be the mother of God's son because she was an example of a devout and loving Jew, so that her spiritual greatness actually preceded the events that are traditionally associated with her. However, to Protestants, prior to the visit from the angel Gabriel, Mary led an unremarkable life, and her sole claim to significance in Christianity is the fact that she was chosen, more or less arbitrarily, by God to be the mother of his son. Furthermore, many Protestants not only refused to share in the Catholic and Orthodox reverence for the Virgin, but have actually reacted vehemently against it, associating respect and reverence for Mary with the some type of idolatry."

From the Paper
"Mary Wollstonecraft was as famous as a writer as her daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, would become, but today it is clear that the daughter is much the better known of the two largely because of her marriage to Percy Bysshe Shelley and because of her creation of the story embodied in her novel Frankenstein. Both mother and daughter were important proponents of the rights of women both in their writings and in the way they lived and served as role models for other women of their time. Much of their work as writers and political thinkers developed from and represented the spirit of the Romantic era in which they lived.
Mary Wollstonecraft's best-known work is her Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), a work in which she expounded in the ills facing women and on the need for justice for women."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that all the characters of the play 'Long Day's Journey into Night' are trapped by their family history and their inability to break out of the family cyclical arguments, however, no one is more trapped than Mary. The writer suggests that
it seems possible that Mary was always lonely. The writer discusses that as a child she may have structured her world around the idea of being a nun because of a guaranteed community, but even in a convent, Mary would have had to know how to connect with others. Further, the writer notes that at every turn she has made choices that isolate herself. Mary chose a stand-offish man for a husband, and has made choices throughout her adult life that have kept her lonely.
From the Paper
"One soon finds out that Mary has significant problems. When the play opens, she has very recently returned home from a sanatorium where she was treated for addiction to morphine. As the day goes on in the play, it becomes apparent that Mary has returned to taking morphine, and quite a lot of it. Mary has an excuse for her addiction: her husband was too cheap to pay for a good doctor after her second son was born, and that doctor got her addicted. Mary may have started with morphine to ease the pain of childbirth and its aftermath, but now it is apparent that she uses it as an escape from reality. Her need to escape is so great that she is in complete denial about her son Edmund's case of tuberculosis -- even though her father, whom she loved dearly, died of tuberculosis himself."

Abstract
The writer of this paper delves into both the life and works of author Mary Higgins Clark and centers mainly on the strength of her characters. While the author's characters frequently possess the ability to overcome insurmountable obstacles that happen too often in life, this paper details the events in Clark's personal life that often parallel to her characters. The death of her father completely altered Mary's family life. Mary gained the knowledge of how precious life was at the early age of ten. From her mother's example Mary learned how to be strong, even in the face of tragedy. This paper discusses both the plots and main characters from various novels including: My Pretty One Sleeps," "I'll Be Seeing You," "Where are the Children?" and "A Cry in the Night" which deals with a mother struggling to raise her children alone.
From the Paper
"Mary dips into the deep well of her experiences again with her novel, While My Pretty One Sleeps, as she grew up listening to her mother's stories about the fashion world. Her mother had been a bridal buyer for B. Altman's; and also mary had written a radio show called "Women Today" where she interviewed designers and fashion editors. This exposure showed her the inside story in the glamour world and also the agony within this industry. From these experiences and her inquisitive imagination, Mary concocted Ethel Lambston, a influential gossip writer who was about to "rock the fashion industry with an expose revealing the secrets of top fashion designers," but is murdered before she can get the story out and she is discovered missing by Neeve Kearney."

The Virgin Mary, 2002.
A comparison of the portrayal of the Virgin Mary in paintings by Paul Gaugin and Guido Reni.

Abstract
Gaugin's "Ia Orana Maria" and Reni's "The Immaculate Conception" are two very different representations of the Virgin Mary. The paper explains that by utilizing more classical composition techniques, smooth, curving lines and rich, strong colors, Reni portrays Mary as an idealized version of Baroque femininity in a heavenly setting. It shows, in contrast, how Gauguin adheres to the primitive tradition, illustrating Mary as a native woman, a naked Christ child set on her shoulders. His use of asymmetrical composition in a cluttered, unplanned scene provides a feeling of energy and naturalism, a striking contrast to the serenity of Reni's work. The paper shows therefore that in illustrating the Virgin Mary in their works, each painter adheres to the very different sensibilities of their time periods.
From the Paper
"Paul Gaugin's "Ia Orana Maria," translated as "Hail Mary," treats a similar subject matter, in that it illustrates the Virgin Mary with adoring attendants. However, this is not the Mary of the Immaculate Conception, but with Christ who is perched upon her shoulders. Painted in the post-impressionist genre known as Arcadia, which exemplifies scenes of blissful simplicity and retreat from the complex, this work was completed in 1891 and hangs in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It is not a large work, only 44 inches by about 36 inches. In keeping with its primitive tradition, and in stark contrast to "The Immaculate Conception," the composition is highly asymmetrical, with the central Mary figure set off to the right of the picture. The poses are unstudied, casual and almost accidental, with Mary and the Christ child looking at the viewer, and the two prayerful, adoring native women gazing at them. This casual approach may be an attempt of Gauguin to emphasize the "naturalness" of the scene, despite the obviously supernatural halos."

Abstract
Author Ruth Perry claimed that writer Mary Astell was one of the first feminist theorist. The purpose of this essay is to evaluate these bold claims made by Perry. It focuses on Astell?s essay on the subject of marriage.
From the paper:
"Mary Astell was born during the 17th century and died in the 18th century. It was during the early part of the 1700s when her most influential books and political and religious treatises were published. Astell wrote long before Elizabeth Cady Stanton, even long before Mary Wollstonecraft penned her influential tracts on women?s rights, even before these women were born. Yet the author Ruth Perry has named Mary Astell as one of the first "feminist theorists" and stated that Astell?s ?first three books were feminist books"."

Abstract
In this essay the author discusses the romantic and tragic life of Mary Stuart. The paper looks at Mary's brief reign as Queen of England, her staunch support of Catholicism, and her death during Elizabeth I's rule.
From the Paper
"Mary had everything to her advantage when she was born on the 8th of December, 1542. She was the daughter of the Queen Regent of Scotland, Mary of Guise. She had been married, when a mere child, to the dauphin, the son and heir of the King of France. The pope, who pretended that no one could rightfully wear the crown of England without his gracious permission, was strongly opposed to Elizabeth, who had not asked for the said gracious permission. And as Mary, Queen of Scots, would have inherited the English crown in right of her birth, supposing the English parliament not to have altered the succession, the pope himself, and most of the discontented who were followers of his, maintained that Mary was the rightful queen of England."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although Mary Shelley does not provide any in-depth explanation or discussion as to exactly how Victor Frankenstein created his "living dead man", it is clear that he utilized many known scientific properties of the age, especially electricity. The author points out that, in order to fabricate this human monster, Frankenstein must have employed certain known medical procedures to create his monster, which in the novel is described as being collected from "charnel-houses" and "slaughterhouses" which "furnished many of my materials", meaning that these "materials" were body parts. The paper concludes that Mary Shelley, as a result of her great imagination and obvious knowledge of the medical field during the early 19th century, created an enduring fable, one which has remained in print for almost two hundred years.
From the Paper
"Since most of Frankenstein takes place in the confines of Europe, it would be to our advantage to examine what was occurring in France and Great Britain in relation to medical research in the early part of the 19th century. As Smith points out, "Although the understanding of human anatomy was well-developed by 1800, physiology was founded on superstition and suppositions." In France, the dissections and post-mortem experiments of certain doctors and surgeons were seen by some people as quite disturbing; in fact, they were viewed as "radical and sacrilegious.""

Abstract
This paper explains how the Mary Kay company has achieved substantial growth and market share due to its use of the Internet. This American based cosmetic company has managed to target women from all over and thus experience record sales even with the tough competition it faces in the cosmetic market. The author shows how online marketing speeds up sales; it allows customers to instantly view a catalog, see what is available and then place an order as opposed to having to visit a beautician, order a catalog and wait for it in the mail and then go and make the purchase. This ease of transactions thanks to the internet has helped Mary Kay Cosmetics gain a large part of the cosmetics market.
From the Paper
"Mary Kay Cosmetics' main objective is to provide opportunities for women. While the desire to provide opportunities for women is admirable, it's not enough by itself to start a business. A product that fills the need of consumers is critical ( Kay, 1997). With the best selling brand of facial products for the last seven years, the company's product had to remain the best when there was so much competition. There are over 200 different cosmetic companies today that are competing for consumers, yet Mary Kay still continues to have the best selling skin care line in the industry year after year. Mary Kay is one the largest direct sellers of skin care and color cosmetics in the world and achieved another record year of 1.8 billion in wholesales in 2003. The company Independent Sales Force includes nearly 1.3 million Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants in more than 30 markets worldwide which has enabled the company to have double digit growth since it was founded in 1963 (Kay, 2003)."

"The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers", 2005.

Abstract
"This paper explains that the story of Mary Rogers, as told in Amy Gilman Srebnick's "The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers", which occurred in the summer of 1841, still lies tangled in mystery because the true cause of her death was never officially discovered. The author points out that her death aided anti-abortionists in making abortion legal in New York State. The paper concludes that her death helped lead eventually to police and criminal court reforms and raised many social issues, which changed the face of New York during this period."
From the Paper
"The last but certainly not the least issue raised by Mary Roger's death was that of the police force. At that time, the police was geared more towards the prevention of crime and not so much solving murders. The fact that no one was ever prosecuted for the death of Mary Rogers led the public to realize the problems with the police force. People criticized the police for only solving crimes for which rewards were offered, and not caring for anything else. This added to the raging political controversy over police reform and the reformation of urban policies and practices. Despite controversy and belief of imminent social decay, violent murders were relatively uncommon in New York during that period."

"Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" and "Mary Reilly", 2006.
A comparison and critique of two novels: "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Mary Reilly".
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 0 sources, £ 34.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares the Victorian Age novella "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and the 1990 novel "Mary Reilly", which attempts to expand on the original work. The author openly criticizes "Mary Reilly," calling it a wretched and ill-advised. The paper critiques Reilly for its lack of character development and even poor writing, while lauding the original piece for its timeless intrigue and captivating characterization.
From the Paper
"The high quality of the writing in the original gives us a rather complete picture of Jekyll, and how it could have been possible for him to turn into Hyde. There is no such insight in Mary Reilly. She sees Hyde, he turns, and her comment to herself is "He is no gentleman", and her major fear seems to be that Mr. Hyde will tell Master that "I frightened your housemaid". Sometime later, Hyde sinks his teeth into Mary's shoulder, easily at first, then harder until she cried out with pain but had enough strength left to tell him "Please, sir. Do not do this." Someone should have said the same thing to Ms. Martin: Please, teach. Don't write. Do not do this. But, she did, and now I was not only forced to read this drivel, but comment on it and compare it to a small classic of 19th century fiction."

Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein", 2004.
Analyzes Mary Shelly's horror novel, "Frankenstein", and how its themes parallel Shelly's own life.
1,379 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 27.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the interpretation of Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" as a novel about the fear of pregnancy and the trauma of afterbirth and then looks at how this relates to Mary Shelly's own life. The paper provides examples from the novel and from Shelly's life to support this interpretation.
From the Paper
"Though works of fiction generally represent a writer?s imagination rather than actuality, inevitably the writer?s life experiences or viewpoints influence the literary effort. One work that bears out the truth of the aforesaid statement is Mary Shelley?s Frankenstein, as a comparison of the text with the author?s life reveals a marked commonality of themes. Though Frankenstein is ostensibly a tale in the horror genre, it is also a powerful human interest story representing as it does, human emotions such as those that revolve around pregnancy and after birth. The same emotions around identical issues is also found in documentation on Shelley?s life, establishing a resemblance too startling to be written off as mere coincidence. In reading Frankenstein, however, it is important to remember that the tale was penned in the early nineteenth century, a period where sensibilities of the readership did not allow an overt exploration of issues such as pregnancy and birth. To that extent, Shelley explored the said emotions through the relationship between the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, and the monster he gave birth to."
