The Creature's Body as a Symbolic Act

According to Fredric Jameson in "The Political Unconscious," "the 'interpretation' of the unique facial decorations of the Caduveo Indians--the starting point will be an immanent description of the formal and structural peculiarities of this body art; yet it must be a description already pre-prepared and oriented toward transcending the purely formalistic, a movement which is achieved not by abandoning the formal level for something extrinsic to it--such as some inertly social "content"--but rather immanently, by construing purely formal patterns as a symbolic enactment of the social within the formal and the aesthetic."(1828)
Trying to tie in Jameson's quote with last week's discussion regarding ethnic and cultural studies, I was wondering if the creation of the body of the Creature from multiple parts of unknown human bodies could be interpreted as Victor Frankenstein's way of turning the Creature's physical form into a symbolic representation of Ethnic or Cultural "Otherness." By making his body a human physiological pastiche, the Creature could be reflective of two things: a) He could be representative of the schizophrenic nature of the all-encompassing view of the individual in what we will later recognize as the modern and postmodern world. b) He could be representative of the Western world's view of the all-encompassing other. If he is the latter, it could be said that Frankenstein's repulsion towards the Creature is the West's attitude towards anyone outside of their world, making the society come off as a isolationist. If he is the former, then Mary Shelley not only succeeded in creating the first work of science fiction, but she may have also succeeded in creating the first postmodern man.
