Frankenstein and Dr Jekyll From the comparison between the novel by Stevenson and the novel by Mary Shelley we noticed some important analogies. One of these regards the theme of the limits of Nature. Walton’s only aim in life is to travel towards the unknown; Frankenstein has the ambition of distinguishing himself in science and so he creates a living being by joining parts selected from corpses without respecting the rules of Nature; Dr Jekyll creates a potion able to release his evil side‚

Character Analysis: Roy Batty by RoyBoy Updated March 23rd 2003 Blade Runner has been errorneously labeled by some as lacking in character development.

The novel Frankenstein‚ written by Mary Shelley can be compared to Prometheus Greek mythology in several different ways. The two novels are similar in plots as well as their characters. I believe Mary Shelley’s aim was to display to us the consequences of some choices we embark on and their aftermath. However‚ Frankenstein is parallel to the Greek mythology Prometheus through their involvement in creating life‚ suffering and being a good and bad creator. Sean FitzPatrick‚ the civilized

The central theme of Bladerunner is the relationship between humanity and nature. More specifically it has a purpose in showing how science can negatively influence this fragile relationship.
