and appealing to those zombies who want to die. First, bearing in mind that zombies are dead, but somehow functioning we would have to think through, do these zombies deserve to re-die and is that morally right.

Nadine Gordimer, an anti-apartheid activist and writer from South Africa, uses her short story, “Once Upon a Time,” to critique the racist political system. This critique is, however, cloaked within a children’s tale – a bedtime story of sorts. After all, as Thomas C. Foster points out in his book, How to Read Literature like a Professor, “Overtly political writing can be one-dimensional, simplistic, reductionist, preachy, dull” (117). Gordimer’s attack on apartheid is anything but dull. As the…

Despite being separated by their respective contextual influences, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) and Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (Director’s cut) both highlight humanity’s ambition and desire to overstep natural boundaries as an enduring aspect of humanity. The question of human identity is put forward by both texts, and through the study of the respective Romanian and Postmodern contexts, the values of human nature can be identified.
