Or the Modern Prometheus" by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly. Specifically, it discusses family ties -- Gulliver's
neglect of his family compared to Victor's neglect of his. It looks at how both authors create characters that are far from normal and neglect their
families in chaotic and unbelievable worlds. They abandon their families for their own selfish pleasures and wants.
