The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells: Failure to Justify Science as a Language of Significant Evolutionary Changes
Introduction:
The book, “The Island of Dr. Moreau” by H.G. Wells has been taken as a base to analyze the significance of science from the perspective of the characters in the book. Science has been a major developmental language since its inception. All the scientists are working in collaboration to generate a society that is well defined and well supported by the principles of nature. Science has been successful in accomplishing what is known as evolution and has also been able to ease the life of humans but there certain aspects that are still under discussion including the creation of ideal human being. This is the main idea being utilized by the book when the word “island” is being used. This island is referring to a creation which is being analyzed differently by every character in this book. The main perception of the book came as negativity on the part of Doctor Moreau as a scientist because he fails to perceive what science really is and how different principles of nature should be integrated to build a society where everyone can thrive. This idea has been taken as a base to formulate the essay. The thesis of the paper is to justify that language of science is negatively affecting community and fails to define human characteristics as depicted by the characters of the book and social Endeavour created by Doctor Moreau. For justifying the argument the essay has been divided into two major sections: a brief summary indicating the role of every character in the novel and discussion of the main thesis. The argument will be supported by quotations of the characters from the book as these are the main bodies depicting that science is not what it is believed to be, and the study of the literature. Authentic journals and peer reviewed articles will be utilized for the purpose of achieving the task of supporting main ideas.
