__Frankenstein__ There is one thing that is clear about the novel Frankenstein. It is clear that Victor had desire to take control, and manipulate nature. Victor becomes very interested in the area of science, and he then decides to manipulate science all by himself. Victor himself wanted to defy man’s limitation, and gain god-like powers. Victor decides to conduct an experiment, and he does it because he wants to create a new form of life. He takes interest in the ancient art of alchemy, which had philosophic and magical associations. Victor takes a lot of interest in modern science, and he mixes it with old science. By doing this, Victor Frankenstein pretty much created a path towards destruction. The novel deals with the creation of a new creature. It has been argued that it is a good thing to bring individuals back from the dead when they have died too soon, but it is only good when not jeopardizing the lives of the living. While reading this novel, one can come to the conclusion that it is impossible to have god-like powers, and be the creator of a new life form. It cannot be done because one will have a lot of difficulty, and in the end everything will backfire on the individual. Blind romanticism is seen in the character of Victor when he takes a lot of interest in the area of science. He becomes deeply in love with his project that he completely neglects everything and everybody in the outside world. It has been said that there will be a time where man will become really dependant on technology. Victor made himself a slave to machines when he experiments on the dead and becomes obsessed with bringing life to the dead. He has his humanity taken away, and he pays the full price for his curiosity. In conclusion, Victor Frankenstein did have the ability to create a new life form, but he forgot about the power of nature. He completely defied the rules set by natural law, and in the end his own creation backfired on him.

Prometheus

Prometheus unbound is a tale from history that has had a profound effect on the philosopbhy of many in today’s current society. It has a mixture of love, passion, and discovery. We see many lessons learned within the story. The discovery and creation fascinated Prometheus and influenced many others, such as Victor Frankenstein. In Aeschylus’s story, she intended for Prometheus to be resistant to society for the reason being that one should have the rights to freedom. Prometheus created man, opening up many new scientific discoveries. Prometheus endures torture, specifically Jupiter how Prometheus was chained to a rock, which was bond to happen and adds an effect to the story. Basically, the story is an all fragments of observation. That opens up doors to criticism. The myth of promptness led to the modern version of Frankenstein which takes all the ideals of the myth. Prometheus loses its dignity after you read Shelly’s novel. The creation of the monster basically, in my opinion, had a negative effect on the condition of the doctor and those around him. The question is raised on what is the long run effect. Frankenstein mainly changes the whole concept of the Prometheus myth. As said in the essay, “it serves as an allegory radiant to the theme”. I agree with Hialy’s thought that “it is through the clash between Zeus and Prometheus than the imperfections of both characters are exposed”. IN this case Prometheus being the creator of life. Overall, the myth has been taken and modified as shelly did. It has lost its dignity due to the Frankenstein’s creation. www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/ titles/prometheus/essay1.html

Modern Prometheus

In the movie, Artificila Intellegence, we could see the similarity to the Prometheus myth. In this movie we see a whole new world of robots interacting with human beings. A company has been creating "mechas" to be part of the modern life of human beings and help out in any necesity. A couple who are married have a son who is very ill and has been frozen because of his desease. The company, Cybertonics, has given them an offer to let them have a boy who is a mecha which has the characteristics of a real, young boy and could feel love. The family accepts this offer and brings the young, mecha boy to their home. This mecha boy's name is David and he could be compared to Frankenstein after being created by another human. David and Frankenstein were both created to be part of the society and in a more advanced way. David became part of the new family and became really attached to them. After the family found out that their real son, Martin, was healing from his desease and was brought home, David began to feel like an outcast. David wanted to learn about the real life and wanted to become a "real boy". David wanted to learn how to eat, sleep, and do things that a regular human being woiuld do. Of course he was just a simple robot out in the world where there was no real place for him and just had to follow rules. Frankenstein and David are two characters that have been created but may not live a happy life because they are different from the humans.
