I
have heard of 'Frankenstein' since I was a kid. Since then, I have known
Frankenstein as an icon of Halloween, someone to be scared of. But I haven’t
really read the story of him.
I didn't watch well the movie and as I have searched for summaries of “The Bride
of Frankenstein”, authors would associate Frankenstein to be the modern
prometheus. In the movie “Prometheus Bound”, the god Prometheus was also
associated to the status of science and technology in the society.
Before,
I thought that Frankenstein was the monster in the story, but only lately I
have known that it’s ‘the monster of Frankenstein’. Frankenstein is one of the
early films of science fiction. It deals with man’s curiosity towards
everything, even creation of man.
The
monster of Frankenstein was also
perceived to be dumb. He was made so to look less human. He thinks life
an infant with no knowledge of what is happening in the world, and his dumbness
only causes disaster. It worked and was carried out all through out. It again
showed the limitations of science and how things can go unpredicted.
Creation
is a work of God, and only Him can judge who will live and who will die.
Frankenstein shows how science reaches its limits. There is a definite line
that separates science from morality; science is bounded by morality. If
science crosses this boundaries, effects would be disastrous and unpredictable.
Scientist shouldn’t device a way to break the effect of death; ignorance of
these would backfire a great effect in the society. Morality should be put into
consider first as to it is responsible for the rest of mankind. Because if life
could be renewed, if there would be a second chance to, then what importance
would human give to their lives?
