The Custom of the Sea Think about the last time you took medicine. It could have been a lifesaving drug or even just a cough drop. These medicines weren’t just made out of thin air. They had to be formulated and tested, probably first on animals and then maybe even on humans. It seems worth it to potentially harm a few rats in order to save human lives. But what about when the test subjects are people and the benefits are much less obvious? Dr. Moreau is said to have “published some very…

Literature is a two way relationship, when an author writes a work they are simultaneously entrusting that whomever picks up that work will seek to understand its intentioned purpose and how that purpose applies to them.

(Stripling 19). This issue is easily translatable to modern science, in the sense that everyday man does something that was formerly thought unachievable. The dilemma arises in Frankenstein with the creation of life from the previously dead. Victor Frankenstein’s obsession with trying to find a way to bring the dead back to life (ultimately wanting to bring his dead mother back to life) led to the creation of something horrendous, and much like modern scientists he did not realize the negative…

I will be discussing the transforming effect that the literature I have read has had on me.
