-in Frankestein we have three different viewpoints: Capitain Rober Walton, Victor Frankestein and his creature. How is our perspective influenced by these different narrators? - By the contrary, in "the strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, there's a third person narrator, who tells the story without being surrounded by strong emotions even if we are facing an internal focalization, for this reason we could say that the narrator is unbiased

Alien-The core
Resurrection had scientists clone Ripley in hopes of creating a Xenomorph for potential military applications. Things go horribly wrong when the cloning gave the aliens more grey matter than the scientists, allowing them to escape and wreak havoc.

Romanticism vs Enlightenment
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde": Dr. Jekyll is a man of science who seeks to separate good and evil in human nature through an experiment. This scientific research and the idea of controlling one's identity invoke the principles of the Enlightenment, in which knowledge and rationality were considered keys to the progress of humanity. On the other hand, the novel presents the dark and hidden side of humanity, embodied in Mr. Hyde, who represents the darker and more irrational aspects of human nature. This duality and the struggle between good and evil embodied in a single individual reflect romantic themes of inner conflict and the darkness of the human soul. "Frankenstein": Romanticism emphasizes the Sublime, which is a feeling of grandeur and beauty mixed with terror or horror. In the novel, the monstrous appearance of Frankenstein's Creature and the descriptions of its actions evoke a sense of terror, creating a sublime experience. Victor Frankenstein's excessive ambition in attempting to surpass the limits of science and human life reflects the Enlightenment idea of seeking to master nature through knowledge.

Mad scientist
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: The character of Dr. Jekyll is a scientist who seeks to separate good and evil in the human soul through chemical experiments. His desire to separate these two aspects of the human personality could be seen as a kind of "insistence on strange experiments" mentioned in the text. Furthermore, his transformation into Mr. Hyde could be viewed as the creation of a "monster" or a "Super Soldier" through unsuccessful experiments. The "mentally unsound" aspect of Jekyll's character also fits the description of the "Mad Scientist. "Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: Dr. Frankenstein is the very archetype of the "Mad Scientist." He creates a monstrous creature through experiments with human corpses and electricity. His quest to bring life from death clearly breaches the boundaries of ethics and science. Furthermore, his desire to "violate the scale of scientific sins" and challenge death reflects the aspect of the "Mad Scientist" committing scientific sins. The concept of a creator losing control over their creation, which then breaks free and becomes destructive, is also present in "Frankenstein."
