Topic > What is the social value of Frankenstein comparative essay

When for the first time we can clearly see the strange life form that formed one with Kane, we imagine that it must be the alien creature (Alien, 30 minutes) . As the film continues, what we discover is that the life form clinging to Kane's face has implanted a life form (the alien) into his body. This revelation emerges when we see the alien birth from Kane's chest (Alien, 45 minutes). At the birth of this alien we see this small, yellow and unattractive life form. Much like Frankenstein's monster, not only is the creature hideous and alarming when we first see it, but the way the alien came to life is also horrifying. As this unknown form continues to grow and kill them one by one. We get glimpses of the alien, which everyone finds horrifying. Its metallic, rubbery black skin, elongated head and inverted-looking body, all non-human characteristics; it too, like Frankenstein's monster, has no place in human life. Every character has a horrible, disgusting and grotesque feeling towards the alien, with the exception of Ashe. He believes the alien is beautiful and perfect; he must protect it even if it meant all the crew on board died (Alien, 1 hour 30 minutes). But no matter how Ashe might describe the alien's beauty, others wouldn't see it that way. His grotesque and inhuman appearance eliminates any possibility of being accepted into the human world, just as happened with Frankenstein.
