المستخلص: Frankenstein is a character used in Mary Shelly famous novel that is imitated by Ahmed Saadawi's novel. The two novels enumerate similarity regarding the primary character development with astounded motives of self-levance and completeness. Relatively, the novels establish a malevolent environment that ravishes in insecurity, hatred, and violence. Julia Kristeva introduces the abject theory in her book, Powers of horror, and provides a profound definition of abject. Abject in simple terms refers to the human monstrous reaction caused by a breakdown of self-preservation and meaning and lack of distinction between either a subject and object or self and other. Abject further is characterized by suffering, horror, death, deception, fear, ego, sectarian obsession, retribution, abomination, and defilement. The relativity of Saadawi's novel and Shelly's novel revolve around subjective horror based on degradation of people through fear, melancholy and violence. As such, this paper hypothesizes that horror is the Abject in the Iraqi fiction, "Frankenstein in Baghdad" by Ahmed Sadawi and the famous novel "Frankenstein" by Merry Shelly. The present study falls into four sections, it starts with the methodology, discussion follows the method of analysis that tackles the theory of abjection as a method to analyze the relation between "Frankenstein in Bagdad" by Ahmed Saadawi and "Frankenstein", by Mary Shelly, focusing on the themes of abjectivity and violence in the two novels. Section two explores the violence and horror in Iraq and the creation of the two monestrs. The quest of terror and the obsession as terror are discussed in section three. Finally the conclusion which sums up the findings of the research.
