    Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott are two texts that explore the conflicts between science and nature. Though they touch upon similar themes in different times‚ it is debateable as to whether they share universal concerns. Both Tyrell and Victor are blinded by their achievements‚ their unethical actions becoming the harbingers of not only their doom‚ but the world and people around them. The creator’s Promethean hubris ultimately leads to their downfall. The texts

    How are monsters created? The question whether people are born evil or are transformed has been around forever. The Creature from Frankenstein‚ written by Mary Shelley‚ and Grendel from Grendel‚ written by John Gardner‚ had similar situations. Grendel was a beast who had no communication with humans or any other living creature. He could understand the humans‚ but they could not understand him. He could not even communicate with his mom because she had forgotten the language long ago. He was isolated

    The Frankenstein book was a little long to read and not very interesting to me. The pictures were good to have to somewhat visualize what was going on‚ but otherwise the book was a waste of time to me. I could never really get into it very much making it difficult for me to read it without getting bored of it. We also just finished the movie today with Carrie Fisher which was weird not seeing her shooting a blaster at storm troopers‚ but that is beside the point. It did not follow the book that we

    “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” seems like it could be a Christian allegory. It starts off with a Mariner‚ who represents all people. He gives his testimony‚ or story‚ of how he was saved. In the beginning of his tale he reports that he was sailing smoothly. A great storm rolls in on him and he does not see a clear path out. The albatross finds him and guides him out of the storm‚ just like Jesus guides each person through their hard times. As long as the man follows the albatross‚ the bird brings

    Would you agree that Frankenstein offers a spirit of hope and redemption? Well yes the spirit of optimism is exposed through Frankenstein’s didactic encounter with the character Walton and the sense of redemption is conveyed through Frankenstein’s acknowledgement of the atrocities he has bestowed upon humanity due to his immoral actions regarding science. What about Blade Runner? C – Well I think we see that Tyrell in Blade Runner displays no acknowledgment for his malevolent actions and we

    Mary Shelley’s‚ ‘Frankenstein’ and Ridley Scott’s‚ ‘Blade Runner’ both take social fears and reflet them. They show aspects of Film Noir‚ Gothic literature‚ Romanticism‚ The impact of Science and natural philosophy‚ Crime fiction and Post modern literature.

The image that I have chosen to portray these similarities and differences is a
