Despite the temporal and contextual disparities between Mary Shelley’s Gothic novel Frankenstein (1818) and Ridley Scott’s science fiction film Blade Runner (1982), both didactic texts analyse man’s hubristic pursuit of knowledge and power at the expense of humanity. The catastrophic outcome of usurping the natural order underscores the composers’ emphasis on retribution as the means to create equilibrium in an unnatural world. Shelley scrutinises the morally chaotic pursuits of the…

Feminist Analysis of “Blade Culture” Nude photos: They can be a great way to add spice to one’s love life, but they often end up on the internet for everyone to see.
