    Shelly and Scott reflect, nature and the natural world in the texts they create, Frankenstein and Blade Runner using literary devices and societal context. In Blade Runner, Scott uses the aspects of the 20th century tradition of dystopias and film noir as literary devices. Throughout Shelly's work of Frankenstein, the romantic and sublime themes of the era are examined as literary devices. The appreciation for the natural wonder of the world is evident throughout Frankenstein when Shelly emphasises to the reader, the sweeping landscapes that are stark, barren and majestic, nature therefore is used as a literary device to simulate the readers sense of emotions, an example of this is when Victor walks through the Alps to relieve himself from…

    Although perspectives and values change with time, ideas and concepts can transcend. The gothic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and the science fiction film Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott although composed over one hundred years apart contain the same perennial concepts on the nature of humanity. This is portrayed through notions of dehumanization, monstrosity and redemption, of the “indistinguishable” creator and creature relationship. The romanticist Shelly wrote her gothic novel the enlightenment era which posed questions concerning the mystery of life and nature of humanity. Scott on the other hand composed in the post-industrial age, where technology and morality played a dominant role in society. The composers explore their contextual values while upholding transcendent concepts of humanity incorporating morality and creation though unique techniques in accordance…

    Frankenstein vs. Bladerunner

    The language and style of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein are both deeply rooted in the literary traditions of the Romantic period, and yet Victor Frankenstein’s scientific experimentation, and eventual success in creating life from inanimate matter, certainly makes Frankenstein an early forbearer of the science fiction genre. However, it is important to point out that Mary Shelley’s novel is primarily concerned with critiquing the science of the early 19th century, whereby the worldspace of Frankenstein, that is to say, the physical surround the characters of the text inhabit, remains highly structured around Nature, which is used to elucidate their lived experiences. Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982; rev. 1992), in stark contrast, positions the viewer from the very opening sequence of the film within a hauntingly mechanized and non-natural future—the hellish worldspace of Los Angeles in the year 2019. The aim of this essay will be to explore parallels between Frankenstein and Blade Runner in order to illuminate key differences between their respective worldspaces, and examine how character experiences, regardless of their humanness, are articulated through language, imagery and visuals within these spaces.…

    The Romantic era took place throughout the 19th century and held the belief that men demonstrate innate goodness, but civilization later corrupts them. Even in today’s society, many political figures, authors, celebrities, and athletes reinforce the Romantic idea of the natural goodness of man and the corruption of man by civilization as they initially exhibit pure values that succumb to the temptations civilization provides. Literature also reflects the belief of the innate goodness of man and the corruption of man by society. For example, Mary Shelley, entails these Romantic beliefs in her novel Frankenstein, in which both Victor Frankenstein and the Creature are born innately good but society later corrupts them. Victor’s,…

    In Bouriana Zakharieva’s essay, Frankenstein of the Nineties: The Composite Body, Kenneth Branagh’s 1994 film version of Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein is discussed and examined in relation to its literary counterpart. A more recent film that seems to parallel the novel is Colin Trevorrow’s 2015 film, Jurassic World. The film is about a theme park that has created a genetically modified, hybrid dinosaur called the Indominus Rex. There are many similarities between the film and Shelley’s nightmarish story, one is the motif of science versus nature and the unnatural creation of life by scientists. With the “progress” of technology our culture reflects the fear of creating our own destruction. Jurassic World is a modern Frankenstein formed…
