Science and Technology has come to a point that it is made
possible for humans to generate answers to questions that should have not been
answered in the first place. As time goes by, we become more and more obsessed
in reiterating and discovering how things worked, how they work, and how they
will work. People tend to satisfy their curiosity by pushing the boundaries until
there is no limitation left. With these in mind, we come to the inevitable:
Where does the line of morality lie in the pursuit of curiosity?
As early as the 19th century, quite a lot have
taken to illustrate the consequences of pushing Science and Technology beyond
the limits through novels, books, and other forms of media. Even after, these “reminders”
only increased in number. In 1935, a movie adaptation of the Bride of
Frankenstein was one of these reminders. Through this film, we are exposed to
the truth that people are capable of doing the impossible through S&T but
there some of them should remain as such. Giving life to the dead was made
possible in Bride of Frankenstein however the events to follow were dire –
people were in panic, the town was destroyed, even the creature itself was in a
depressed state. And while the creature was made incoherent in the movie, his
actions proved to be a representation of his miserable life as much as his words. After all, actions speak louder than words.
