This paper analyses Frankenstein through Lacanian Lack Theory, examining whether lack politics might promote a more democratic society. For Lacan, both the subject and Other are lacking. Accordingly, the lacking subject fails to identify with the Other to fill that lack. However, the fantasy that is placed over the lacking Other and offers the promise of fullness, continues to stimulate the subject to identify with the Other. Yet every Utopian fantasy produces a scapegoat to constitute itself, demanding its elimination. The contradictory nature of fantasy demonstrates its failure. In Frankenstein, Victor and Monster confirm the impossibility of utopian fantasy through their struggle. Victor attributes all his negativity to Monster, and excludes him from Being to maintain a harmonious self image. Yet Monster always reemerges to threaten him. That Victor finally dies proves any fantasy can never be preserved. Meanwhile, Victor’s dislocated power is surprisingly replaced not by that of Monster’s, but by Walton’s emerging power. Walton, abandoning his ambition to approve of the sailors’ request, displays a self critical attitude acknowledging his fallibility and better alternatives. This indicates his favorable attitude towards uncertainty that lack politics advocates as a foundation for democratic politics.
