The overarching idea of usurping the role of God is common in both texts however, each are affected by their different values creating differing perspectives. Both Frankenstein and Tyrell “became capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter” however in doing so they transcend the boundaries of nature and their overreaching ambition is punished. There are also parallels between the Monster and Batty as both are the creation of unchecked scientific endeavours, raising the same philosophical, moral and ethical concerns.
