[quackthewhack]

Hi Guys!

I am in year 11 and lowky what is blade runner

our prelims are an essay where we have to relate the promethean myth to bladerunner and/or any of its adaptations we did (Ovid's metamorphosis, Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound, Byron's Prometheus)

if anyone has any notes/essays/literally anything on blade runner and how it relates to prometheus please share cuz our entire class is so lost

the promethean myth is heavily referred to in Shelley's Frankenstein so i would recommend going to the E1 world of upheaval resource on this site. In terms of specifically blade runner, since its a sci-fi film have read any critical readings on the genre? There are usually some overlapping concepts between the two ie humanity's overreach for enlightenment/divinity, however to what extent the aforementioned example is relevant to the film is something I'm not sure of since I've never watched it. But I'm sure with some research you should be able to come across some resources so good luck!
