EUREKA Prometheus Project

The rules of Anthem. One of the main reasons Prometheus disliked his old society was their rules and controls. They consisted of rules that made each and every man and woman exactly equal to each other. There was no reason to do anything other than the job that the council gave to them and if they did otherwise they would be punished for being different. Prometheus, his previous name being Equality 7-2521, escaped from the detention to show the council of scholars his box that represented the…

Prometheus was able to create man out of according to Greek Mythology, and Victor Frankenstein created his monster with different parts of dead human beings. Because of these creations, believing that they can help mankind, both were punished in a way where…

full: Frankenstein, or the Modern Day Prometheus. The concept behind having a subtitle raises the question of why exactly Shelley decided to subtitle her novel after a Greek hero, but within the novel, the question is never answered nor mentioned. Although both Prometheus and Frankenstein come from different points in time, correlations can be made between the novel and the myth; specifically, it can be made in reference to exactly who the “modern Prometheus” is. Shelley’s subtitle does not…

Throughout the novel, Mary Shelley hints at the similarity of the relationship between Frankenstein and the creature, and the relationship between God and humanity in deism. Deists believe in an unreachable and distant God who created nature and humanity, then stepped out. They believe in the principle that God abandoned the world, and the laws of nature now govern humanity. Evil and corruption only enter the world when humanity fails to live up to their potential or to the laws of nature.…

Robin Hood character, as the ensuing underdogs. The benevolent, Hubris-filled luminaries of Victor Frankenstein and Prometheus have, too, been answerable for stealing for the people – but not from the people; no, they, furthermore like Robin Hood, choose to purloin from the invulnerable Higher-Ups. But the duo’s charm does not stop there: in contemporary times, still, Prometheus has maintained as a symbol for progress in science and technology; with…

This piece is titled Vishnu as Varaha, The Cosmic Boar. It tells the story of the the Hindu god, Vishnu and how he took the form of a boar to rescue the world from a demon who imprisoned the earth beneath the cosmic ocean. This piece depicts Vishnu as having an entirely human body with a boar’s head, not unlike the shape of a minotaur. Though the color and texture of this sculpture would have me to believe it has nothing to do with an ocean. This piece is entirely a sand like color and has a…

Prometheus stole fire from the gods (he reached too far) and was punished for it, just as Victor overreaches by playing God and creating life and is then punished for it. Victor finally seems to succumb to the idea of a higher power, “ I trod heaven in my…

In her novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley repeatedly suggests—and eventually delivers upon—the imminence of doom based upon the protagonist’s unbridled ambition in order to warn of the gruesome consequences of hubris and ego. Victor Frankenstein, the title character and protagonist, seeked to discover the secret of creation, not to cure disease or to better the world, but instead, simply to gain fame and clout in the scientific community. Not only did Frankenstein aim to essentially “play God”…
