The documentary begins by informing the viewer on how much time the

The women who dictate their desperate letters at Dora’s desk at the Central Station of Rio de Janeiro are seen as weak, lost and in desperate need
Shelley's Frankenstein and Milton's Paradise Lost Even upon first glance, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and John Milton's Paradise Lost seem to have a complex relationship, which is discernible only in fractions at a time. Frankenstein is Mary Shelley's reaction to John Milton's epic poem, in which he wrote the Creation myth as we perceive it today.
