rubric does mention treatment of similar content in a pair of texts composed in different times and values; considering the texts in thier contexts and comparing values and ideals brings a heightened understanding of meaning.
so im assuming, and this is entirely speculation; they are referring to the entire concept of the artifice and playing god? animated life in frankenstien and the replicants in blade runner.
the mary shelly romantic era depicted the post-enlightenment argument of the supernatural over the comprihensible (therefore the cautionary tale of warning against science).
in the 1980s however, the boom in attention to the value of technology, blade runner similarly sorta is a warning tale in itself? (the neonlit city, the vanity in the excessive fashion of the people (my entire class totally went wtf when the woman put on a plastic jacket) <- a complete loss of identity; furthured on by the fact deckard can no longer discriminate between humans and replicants, the real and the arifical)
the differnece between the two i guess is shelly more or less conforming to the social perception of her context whilst ridley scott confronts his.
anyone reckon im sorta on the right track?
ps: doing romanticism for ext 1, cant believe we had to do northanger abbey which was friggin pointless, instead of frankenstien!
