Question: After reading article, "The Monster as Woman: Two Generations of Cat People" by Karen Hollinger

Did you find male or female monsters more frightening? More sexual? How might your gender affect your answer?

In addition to the Cat People movies, Hollinger also examines The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), in which the female monster, or the Bride, is almost immediately killed by the male monster when she rejects his advances. Hollinger argues that the female monster represents the power of female sexuality (even the power to reject) that must be brought under male control, reflecting society's larger demand that female sexuality be kept within acceptable confines. Do you agree with her a

argument? Cite representations of monsters and other characters in specific films to support your answer.

Do representations of other female monsters, particularly those in movies, confirm Hollinger's central thesis about the desire to control female sexuality?
