    Emily Donaldson writes, “Children forced to cope in the absence of their parents” (Donaldson), this is one of the most important theme and also acts as a tragic event in the lives of the central characters, Ian Christopherson and Arthur Dunn, motivating them to follow their destiny.

    The Thing Theme

    • 1923 Words
    • 8 Pages

    John Carpenters ’s 1982 horror film, The Thing was made as a premise for social commentary on the deterioration of humanity, warning society of the devastating potential of thinking as individuals in isolation rather than a collective.

The term humanity itself is redefined in this film and is stripped to its bare minimum: the mere biological relationship between humans.…
