Similarities Between Frankenstein And Blade Runner
Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ and Ridley Scott’s ‘blade runner

How has the context of each of the composers affected the representation of their respective worlds an the place of nature in these world?

Context is something that should be considered when exploring how composers represent their respective worlds and the role of nature in it, in this essay I will explore techniques used by the composers to convey messages about nature in their texts and how it is subject to the context in which the texts were produced

In Frankenstein a major context of the time was Romanticism, a view that saw nature as a force to be in awe of as it had the power to both heal and destroy. it is obvious that Mary Shelly was heavily influenced by the romantics of her time from her book, when it come to the way that she describes the landscape in her world with great detail and the affect it has on victor “These sublime and magnificent scenes afforded me the greatest consolation that I was capable of receiving” (referring to the natural environment around him, the mountains.)

    'Man is in truth a miracle'. Man is believed to be born pure, through societal influence an individual may be shaped and their characteristics moulded, this theme is explored in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Another important and recurring concept covered in both Shelley's Frankenstein and Scott's Blade Runner is the creation of life. This creation is physically superior and intellectually equal of its creator. Through either a desire 'to live' or to want more out of life, this creation rebels and rises against its creator. Due to their differing social, historical and personal contexts, the similar thematic concerns and issues, examined in both are representative of changes in the values and perspectives of society.…

    The existential question ‘What is it to be human?” despite context, continues to be relevant to society. In “Frankenstein” this is explored through Victor Frankenstein and the Creature. Written during the latter part of the Romantic period, Shelley is commenting on and reacting against the rational, scientific paradigms of the Enlightenment, placing emphasis on the Romantic traits Individualism, Imagination and Nature. Victor Frankenstein is very much endowed as the Gothic protagonist, being portrayed as a cold and distant character that is unquestionably a genius and dependent on natural sciences. In “Bladerunner” the creator, Tyrell, is portrayed in a similar fashion. The 1980s gave rise to capitalism and consumerism and thus the film lends itself to such qualities. Tyrell is also a detached character who is more concerned with creation than the consequences as seen in his statement “commerce is our goal here at Tyrell. ‘More human than human is our motto”. Both creators are highly revered which can be seen in the opening power shot of Tyrell’s ziggurat, pyramid shaped building towering over Earth and in Victor’s relationship with his family and Walton. These characters represent the scientific, rational aspects that both composers were reacting against, in turn providing a warning to society about the consequences of such thing. The opening prologue of “Bladerunner” displays certain hostility towards the Replicants. The words scroll across the black screen in an almost clinical way stating “Blade runner units had orders to shoot to kill…This was not called an execution.…

    The 1818 Gothic Novel 'Frankenstein' written by Mary Shelley and the 1982 science fiction film 'Blade Runner' by Ridley Scott both challenge the values of the societies in which they have been set, expressing the composers' critique of the advancement in science and technology, the consequences of irresponsible creation and the hubris of an individual to overcome nature's power. It is through these common themes that the texts have the ability to represent and evoke fear, anxiety and…

    Victor’s Promethean allusion, “flow dangerous in the acquirement of knowledge” acts as a condemnation of Enlightened man’s hubristic desire to achieve intellectual triumph, while Shelley’s allusion to Galvanism, “I collected the instruments of life around me that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet” suggests an elaborate circumvention of the natural process of procreation. Furthermore, the sexual imagery, “they penetrate into the recesses of nature” expresses scientific progress as both phallocentric pursuits of domination and carnal gratification, in turn allowing for Shelley’s critique of man’s narcissistic exploitation of nature. Moreover, Victor’s emotive expression “the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete!” is ironic in its negative reference to the expedience of the Industrial Revolution and his own metaphorical function as Faustian figure, repudiating Erasmus Darwin’s evolutionary theory and, by extension, challenging the established values of the era. The growing chasm between religious institution and empirical dogma of Shelley’s era is rendered obsolete in Blade Runner with the aerial shot of the towering Tyrell Corporation building acting as a dual metaphor for the fusion of technology and history’s worship and scientific domination. In Scott’s film, the sublime alps of Mont Blanc are replaced with the architectural juxtaposition of pyramidal form and electric surface, an ironic representation of a postmodern culture, one which collapses formerly rigid social boundaries in favour of a universal consumerism. Scott characterises a detached Deckard as the 1940s film-noir hard-boiled detective, evocative of an existential nihilism that forms the foundations of an omnipresent sense of collective isolation, one which…

    Mary Shelley’s nineteenth century epistolary novel, Frankenstein (1818), and Ridley Scott’s late twentieth century post-modern film, Blade Runner (1992), bear striking similarities when studied as texts in time, as they both aim to warn humanity about attempting to usurp of the role of God in creating life. However, their respective contexts mean that the way in which they present notions about humanity differs. Shelley and Scott have extrapolated their various concerns born from their respective contexts regarding the confusion and anxiety that results when mankind pursues their knowledge without regard for their responsibilities. Shelley presents us with humanity’s flaws, which are evident in the way they have neglected what they have created. Scott portrays a futuristic world that has become horrifically debased and inhumane, as mankind has failed to maintain the natural order after overstepping scientific and technological boundaries. Both composers conceptually focus on the parental duties of creators toward their creation and the consequences of abandoning them. Through their different styles and techniques relative to their respective audience, each composer is extremely successful in presenting the changing values and attitudes respective of their eras.…

    The idea of ‘disruption’ is explored within Blade Runner and Frankenstein through the interference of the natural environment due to scientific progress. Such a conflict between nature and science within Frankenstein, stems from the contextual backdrop of the 1800 Romanticism movement, a backlash against the age of Enlightenment and its rationality through scientific experimentation. In an attempt to warn her audience of the horrifying consequences of disrupting nature, Shelley utilises a Gothic-Romanticist style, and motifs such as the sublime and soothing nature versus monstrosity as shown in the lines, “the valley that is more wonderful than the sublime”, juxtaposed with the appearance of the monster as “yellow skinned, black eyed”. Whilst Victor warns Walton to, “avoid ambition...in science and discovery”, his character development, alluded to as the ‘ancient mariner’, whose hubris of overreaching the boundaries leading to his downfall is contrasted against his perfect childhood, again reiterating Shelley’s warnings about the consequences of disrupting nature. Likewise Scott…

    If society rejects the individual, the individual rejects society. This dichotomous relationship has an overarching impression that plays throughout both Blade Runner and Frankenstein in similar perspectives on how guardian/social responsibility, science and religion are thought of in society as well as how they impact individuals. The ways are shaped and moulded to their respective contexts to suit the contrasting opinions of the time is what creates different perspectives. Mary Shelley’s rejection of the Enlightenment period – scientific rationalism, and reliance on romantic ideals of God in nature highlight the social belief of religion and the natural human condition being held in higher regard than science. Though this contrasts to Ridley Scott’s commerce centred society which has a reliance on science to the point of complacency, the negative social results of unnatural – or scientific – human nature greatly impacts both human and robotic individuals. Although the perspectives on these values differ due to context, the overall theme of individual suffering and negative consequences from society by overreaching their human condition is the same.…

    Both texts warn against unchecked scientific endeavors, form and context influencing the manner with which the importance of the sublime is presented. Frankenstein’s depiction of nature uses abundant, sublime imagery to reveal the internal state of characters, and humanity’s interdependent relationship with the power of the natural world. Vividly beautiful imagery of the sublime in nature reveals Shelley’s fundamental romantic world view. She saw the society threatened by scientific progress as portrayed through Frankenstein in his creation of artificial life. “… thousands of others shall be swallowed up in the whirlwind of it’s (science’s) rage.” Here, the monster can be read as a representation of unchecked science, created into a supernatural force. Direct connection with nature, on the other hand, is viewed as exceptionally important, heavily rooted in the romantic beliefs of Shelley. The sublime is an overwhelming, unbeatable force, and…
