| Frankenstein / Hawthorne and his market |
Introduction : Frankenstein as a scientific novel, how it had influenced its particular age, where a monster is seen in different areas of field; a revolutionary birth, as a proletarian, natural philosophy-cyborg by concerning its political and scientific aspects. Which is also seen in respects of popular culture of film adaptations, stage etc. While seeing parallely 'Hawthorn and his market' it conveys that by being a classical writer, this writer has many difficulties, going on, forthcoming and already existing but he made his way and made his works to be published.
Reading Frankenstein As A Cultural Critic:
In cultural studies, Frankenstein can be read as both; with political and scientific concerns as well as yielding afternoon entertainment to generations.
In former part we can see in subtopics : Revolutionary births, the creature as proletarian, a race of devils and how it transforms from natural philosophy to cyborg. While in latter part we see "the frankenpheme in popular culture, utilizing it with fiction, drama, film and television.
Subsequenty if we try to see Frankenstein with both the features, as it is just the invention by Mary Shelley in Romantic era, it has been considered as revolution, which is related with genetically engineered "Frankenfoods" like testtube babies and cloning. The other "a creature as a proletarian, struggles between survival and social inacceptancy, as well as the difference and effect of radical and ideal knowledge. While parallely "a race of devils" is something which narrates the constitution of Negro people, who are yellow in color, has much physical strength(cyborg) beyond human normal capacity, without senses(represented in the creature of Frankenstein) and the last one of the same category, interconnected with genetic engineering, biotechnology and cloning.
Furthermore we have also seen the concept of natural reduction and then the population. Luigi Galvani's theory of "muscle induction" which was utilized in imaginative manner by "Mary Shelley" to generate the monster and also prior to this "electricity impulse" where a freshly severed oxen was taken for experiment and when it was going on its ears and tongue remained shook, while its eyes were plainly open. Some assumptions that a human recreation also has its roots in 'pulmonary resucsiation'.
If we see the same aspect in today's time then we have digitized human, which will probably called as "digitized human" or "robot".
The novel Frankenstein in popular culture has regardance with films, adaptations, drama, fiction and television and how variously with different ideas the same thing is depicted by various means.

Thus in both the perspectives "Frankenstein" can be read from different angles, and by analyzing gradually, it can be reframed, based on different measures and with the time tendency prevailing, at any particular time.
Hawthorne_And_His_Market:
In Hawthorne and his market we see the Hawthorne had written hundred of the short stories and then he turned towards writing romances, one of which is "Scarlett Letter".
He at first found difficulty in finding publishers for his own book's publication in America, as the publishers were use to sell pirated book at cheap cost and also some influences was from the preceding puritan forbears(his ancestors) who were scorning the profession of writing and considering it as an idle work, and as they were such he had to fought against those hidden and internal fears, which may be proved to be responsible for the writer's own failure of the career.
Contemporary aspect of market
Seeing 'the concept of Hawthorne and his market' in contemporary times. Perhaps in present times a writer wouldn't suffer or grapple to find a publisher as he / she / hir may have digitized means like blog, Twitter, Facebook, to showcase their writing skills on public platform or one can share one's point of views, ideas, by accessing in 'writing extension' like 'wikipedia' and many more. But for this one need to be aware of or involved in that particular field, or else it won't happen for everyone. So as Hawthorne was to face the problem of 'finding publisher' can't happen in contemporary times, and there won't be any question of cheap or qualitative selling means / personalized, as financial means are also digitized, people will get reward as per their qualitative or appealment of work, concerning public taste.
Thus in this manner one has to fought for his own as well as his working proficiency survival.
