How does Mary Shelley present women in 'Frankenstein'? [2]

Shelley presents women in Frankenstein as virtuous through the use of character names.
Justine -----> Justice
Safie --------> male name in Arabic meaning pure. She may be drawing on "Saphia" which is Greek for wisdom and can suggest how women were intelligent and logical thinkers.
