God creates the world by dividing it into a system of doubles—the sun and the moon, light and dark, the land and the sea, and male and female. When Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, and when Cain kills his brother Abel, good and evil become apparent in the otherwise perfect world that god creates. It is described in Genesis that not only is man made in the image of God, making man parallel to god, but woman, also contrasts with man, because of how she was created from man’s rib. Old Testament

“The Environment,” a chapter in Wayne Grudem’s Politics According to the Bible, acknowledges the Bible and its significance in regards to God’s creation. In concluding the author’s argument, “The Environment” explains how God had created an abundant and resourceful world that was to be used wisely and joyfully but as Adam and Eve took from the Garden of Eden without heeding God’s words, man has continued to do the same, therefore nature has become “fallen” (Grudem 329). While challenging the common

John Milton’s epic 17th century poem, Paradise Lost and Mary Shelley’s early 19th century novel Frankenstein both demonstrate an overlapping theme of curiosity. This is expressed in the texts through mankind’s curiosity for knowledge of the human race, which aids in construction of identity. While each of the texts support the mutual theme of curiosity, the authors exemplify the theme in not only similar, but also different ways. Both texts use the nature of the timeframe in history to provoke Eve

The colonization of Mars is a beautiful drug, the vice of humanity. Mars is overwhelming and consuming, like society. “Mars becomes a way of seeing, of being, a state of mind, a vision, an addiction,” (Harlow 311-314). The allure of Mars lied within the newfound freedom and power its settlers craved. Bradbury best showed the effects on Mars through his character Spender, an archaeologist who rages against his crewmates, murdering them as protest of destructive technology and disregard towards Martian

Even though it looked evil, the monster was actually a smart and kind giant whose terrible acts were caused by others doing it harm; the monster is morally ambiguous, which prevents it from being labeled as either fully good-hearted or evil, and lets the reader pick whether or not it is an inherently good creature turned bad by the circumstances. The monster is morally ambiguous in the sense that while

Throughout this passage, Frankenstein feels as though he has been separated from his fellow man due to his actions, this is revealed through Shelley's use of figurative language, most notably, the use of light and dark imagery. “They were my brethren, my fellow beings, and I felt attracted even to the most repulsive among them, as to creatures of an angelic nature and celestial mechanism.” Frankenstein’s desperation to be close to humanity is evidenced when he craves to be near ever the “most repulsive”
