Connection Post: Luddites Movement

The novel "Frankenstein" was written in the era of many upheavals and unrest of the European society.One of those moments was the 'Luddite Movement',brought about by mans quest for progress and improving,mankind's' way of life.Maybe the blame could be proportioned upon the shoulders of James Watts,for fine tuning and thrusting the steam engine into the limelight of the  year 1812 .This brought about social unrest,strikes,vandalism and literal chaos among lower classes of people who engaged in cottage industries for their way living and sustaining themselves.Price of progress?
 Here we are now with 'Frankenstein' the enthusiastic, brilliant scientist engaged in the search of creating 'Life' for the progress of mankind.Did he succeed ?, yes and no.He played God ? ; yes he did, "After days and nights of incredible labour and fatigue,I succeeded in discovering the cause of generation and life; nay,I became myself capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter". The results ? catastrophic! Victor with good intentions, or maybe not so good intentions, dabbled in the hierarchy of science,considered by many 'forbidden arts', created the perfect killing machine..oops! or should I have said monster.This son of victor went on a rampage and slaughtered quite a few people,needless to say more than enough people to say its similar to the 'Luddites Movement'.Good intentions, for progress and man steps back into his primal birth and rage.Each creator or scientist started off with good intentions,only for man to fall short of the original intention.The warning ?,The bi-product of progress is not always the end result sought after .You have been warned!
