Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner
Comparison and Contrast
Introduction
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner are two story lines created in a different era, Frankenstein being an early published novel on the creation of an experimental monster that longs to have a normal existence whilst Blade Runner is a more modern take to a future society where there have been genetically engineered robots named ‘replicas’ that are in appearance indistinguishable from human beings which choose to escape to the planet earth in search of extending their life spans.
The comparison of similarities between the two stories begins with the most simple and obvious being the creation of as referred in the film Blade Runner “Replicas” of human beings. In Ridley Scott’s film Blade Runner there have been visually identical robot creations of human beings called replicas in which whose sole purpose of existence is to carry out tasks that are menial or dangerous. In the novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley the creature Frankenstein commonly referred as abomination or monster, is showing the scientific advancement in technology and galvanism being research of electrical current creating the stimulation of a body’s muscle, which is used to bring the creature Frankenstein to life.
The main warning in between the comparison of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the expansion of Industrial revolution of modern humans, this solely being the creation of human replicas and the industrial boom that this itself could produce for humanity. Though the creation of these human replicas in the near future would be highly capable, it would not produce any major sustainable form of economy or gross wealth to the world. This meaning that unemployment rates would rise, homelessness would rise, regular income would become hard to find for human beings as these robotic replicas would have no need to be paid and can work
