Mary Shelly As society changes around us, we spot things we never noticed before: high divorce rates, murder rates, and drug use just to name a few. James Riddley-Scott and Mary Shelley noticed and had a fear of child abandonment. In Frankenstein, Shelley explores this subject through the viewpoint of a man, Victor, who creates a child so hideous that he cannot bear to look at it, and consequently deserts it. In Blade Runner Scott explores this matter through a businessman, Tyrell, who makes replicates of humans, the Nexus 6, gives them only four years to live, and sells them as slaves. The children of these creators turn out to be smarter and more human than expected, and revolt against the way society treats them, giving us all a lesson in parenting and child development. In Shelley Frankenstein, Victor brings a monster to life only to abandon it out of fear and horror. The beauty of the dream had vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart (Shelley, 35). The reader must question the ethics of Victor. After all, he did bring this creature upon himself.
