Feminist gender expression and camp in Daisies (1966)

Performing femininity to the extent to which it could be considered camp is a powerful act, and in films such as Daisies (1966), women are presented figuratively as “dolls” in order to present this concept and find power in femininity. 

I can't stop thinking about Frankenstein

Allowing for the indulgence in deeper meanings, or remaining satisfied with the base level understanding. The creature, “Adam,” is not the monster, Victor is.
