noo I'm just askingprobz. i failed

It did say distinctive contexts.noo I'm just asking
thats a really good q for bladerunner & frankensteinModule A Question 2 (b) - BLADESTEIN!!! (Frankenstein and Blade Runner)
the question said something about the comparisons and the distinctive contexts or some shit..
I interpreted it as the comparisons between the two texts reflecting on Shelly and Scott's different contexts.
:/ I'm feeling iffy about it now though..
I did that too, but it seemed pretty convoluted. values are defined by their context as far as I understand of the module. But this question wanted us to switch it and say context was defined by the values... when values are actually defined by context >.> You really had to BS that one to find a way to make sense of it all.I did richard III too, i mainly focused on how certain values have changed over time, which help distinguish the two and also how techniques like dramatic irony arent as recognised by the modern audience compared to the elizabethans..it seemed fine, i hope it was lol.
That's what I did as well I focused upon the fact that composers are able to integrate contextual values within to works to reflect, comment on or challenge the established beliefs of the time and discussed that the comparative analysis of the two texts conveys similarities and differences which accentuate their contexts.

You weren't meant to ENTIRELY contrast.
You say:
SIMILAR themes but DIFFERENT perspectives
e.g. Nature
- Shelley believed that nature governed humanity and could never be completely eradicated
- Context: Romanticism
- Scott: Presents a world completely devoid of nature. Saw that humanities actions had a strong impact on it
- Context: Chernobyl disaster, Cold War threat of nuclear warfare

many people didThat Scott's contexts are good... I only did the Industrial Revolution as a context... hmmmmmmmmmmm
This. I talked about the consumerism and social issues of ambition in bladerunner vs the personal and family issues in Frakenstein, how communication was explored in both texts, talking about the fracturing domestic ideal in franky and the individual dehumanisation in bladerunner, then talked about concepts of humanity, comparing tabula rasa etc philosophy in Franky to existential philosophy and personal identity and self-actualism.I said their perspectives on what are, essentialy the same values, reflect their distinct contexts
I talked about
Shelley - Industrial Revolution, Gothic genre, Modern Prometheus --> consequences of science
Scott - IVF, genetic engineering, early robotics, globalisation, Reaganomics, greed is good --> consequences of science
Shelley - Coleridge visited her as a child, Romantic ethos of Percy Shelley, Rousseu's amendment to 'tabula rasa', Milton's Paradise lost --> degradation of moral conscience
Scott- superficial americans, Judeo-Chritian notions of morality --> degradation of moral conscience
My thesis was while their contexts were distinct, a comparative study showed they had the same values. But now i'm getting the horrible feeling that you were supposed to do it the other way around
