Gattaca reveals the extremities that can result from the never-ending development of technology and how that could affect our society’s structure. It gives the viewers insight into a dangerous world which we could unfortunately be moving towards.

Even if the writer tried to make the story true, the mind blocks the heart stabbing and the brain boggling details from what happened in order to save yourself tragedy, so the so called “True Story” isn 't all that true.

The fact that Branagh included this scene in his film is significant on its own, as it is one which Olivier purposefully omitted from his 1944 film. This is an important fact, as “Directors of Shakespeare films, like the makers of westerns and other genre pictures, tend to be intimately aware of each other’s work” (Crowl, 36), and therefore including this scene sets Branagh’s picture apart from its predecessor, and emphasises the “gritty, realistic” approach which distinguishes his style (Branagh, quoted in Hindle, 51). The inclusion and stylistic choices of Branagh in this scene are imperative for setting the tone of the remainder of the

Many people might claim the book as a good vs. evil theme, but through the multiple misleadings of the book that convince others of everything but the truth, proves that deceit is a major portion of the novel. Misleadings are included in the definition of deceit, because they’re not telling the complete truth - trying to convince others of something that’s incorrect. Good vs evil explains the two sides of the spectrum, whereas the misleadings, the basis of the story, tell the exact truth of a person, no matter if they’re good or evil. One of the first and many misleadings is the will that Mr. Utterson becomes very curious about, for Hyde was the heir for all of Dr. Jekyll’s property if he disappeared for a certain amount of time. “It provided not only that, in case of the decease of Henry Jekyll, all his possessions were to pass into the hands of his ‘friend and benefactor Edward Hyde,’ but that in case of Dr. Jekyll’s ‘disappearance or unexplained absence for any period exceeding three calendar months,’ the said Edward Hyde should step into the said Henry Jekyll’s shoes without further delay and free from any burthen or obligation.” (25,26).

As a result, Golding’s sole purpose to writing this novel was to demolish this misconception of Britain and humanity. Through its contrasting characters, Golding’s Lord of the Flies signifies the different behaviours of mankind, which civilization is either lost and turned to savagery, or remains steadfast under extreme circumstances. Simon illustrates the pure and good-hearted individuals of mankind. Jack symbolizes the innate savagery of our society. Ralph personifies the grey area between civilization and savagery.
