For example, Charles Trask receives a “long and crinkled scar” on his forehead that “turns dark brown” while he is filled with a malevolent rage (46). Later on in the story, Cathy Ames is also marked with a scar during a grisly altercation with the pimp she was exploiting.

The ironic part is just that god created man. There are several allegories to the bible, particularly what happened in the Fall of man, when Adam and Eve got banished from the garden of Eden. The cataclysmic event that nearly drives humanity to extinction, Crake’s genocide, happens because he has an ambition. An ambition to rewind humanity’s history, to reverse the effects of the Fall of man. But it is his meddling as a “god” that nearly wipes out mankind.
