    He wanted to make money so badly that it drove him to create a dinosaur theme park. It shows that he will make money at any cost, because the risks in making the park were prominent but he didn't care. He loved dinosaurs as a kid, and that lead him to engineering dinosaurs. This also showed that he is crazy in his own way. Near the end of the story, he got scared of a T-rex roar. This very small detail was very important because it caused his own death. He died from the kids that he invited to the park, which was a great example of irony. During the book Hammond says “Soon this park is going to bring smiles to the faces of children all over the world. Well, at least the rich ones.” It shows that Hammond doesn't actually care about the children like he has stated, but really he

  • Jurassic Park: Gender Politics and Dinosaurs

    902 Words  | 2 Pages

    Man has always said that women are an entirely different species. As humorous as it sounds, no single gender cannot exist alone and are not depicted as superior to another. In Steven Spielberg’s film Jurassic Park (1993) the gender politics in the film associate the female gender to nature and the dinosaurs as well, but at the same time it deems the female gender as an enigma. While the film presents only two female characters, Dr. Ellie Sattler [Laura Dern] and Lex Murphy [Ariana Richards], they present feminist ideologies that not only present them as modern women but seem to contrast Ellie to nature and dinosaurs as a commentary on the changing roles of women. Despite the gender politics regarding equality, the film notes the typical female traits that are associated to nature such as the nurturing quality of mothers and the female association with the dinosaurs. The female gender can also be compared to the monstrous, in addition to the idea of birth over the institution of marriage. Ellie takes on the role of the heroine who is “characterized as “modern women” —capable, intelligent, and employed” but is still in need of help from her male counterparts (Belmont 350). The association with women, nature and dinosaurs is critiquing the change of gender roles and the rise of feminist ideologies.

  • Man Against Nature in Jurassic Park

    1159 Words  | 3 Pages

    "The world was made for man to conquer and rule, and under human rule it was meant to become a paradise" (Ishmael 82). Much like this evolutionary mythological theory, the movie Jurassic Park tells a tale of man's attempt to rule over nature. Through the movie's description and imagery, the viewer perceives the arrogance of humans to control nature, and the consequences and failures of this flawed intention. John Hammond, park creator, uses state of the art technology and ideas to recover dinosaur DNA, fill in missing gene caps, and breed the previously extinct animals to exploit his accomplishment. This process is set into motion without regard to the ethics behind the research, and without asking if pure scientific curiosity and drive should usurp natural evolution. Hammond arrogantly takes these responsibilities in hand and proceeds without consequence, as if he were somehow above his natural counterparts in mother nature's eyes. When this superiority is broken down, those who thought they were in control realize that their control was imagined. Jurassic Park conveys the consequences of human insolence in believing that nature is purely beautiful and subordinate to their existence, and this illusion of superiority reveals nature's true chaos and danger.

  • The Importance Of Technology In Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park

    This is because in the Divergent trilogy the world suffered through a terrible war and hence was divided into 5 factions; they were Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Erudite (the intelligent), Amity (the peaceful), and Candor (the honest), and were made to restore peace between all the people, by dividing them by the most prominent attributes. This ended up becoming chaotic, because there were divergent people, who do not fit in to one faction, according to their aptitude test. This meant that there were thousands of factionless people therefore there were constantly things going wrong in the society. This eventually led to the faction system being destroyed, because their leader Jeanine Matthews was not willing to comprise in any way. The main character Tris said, which describes the bias of the technology extraordinarily well, “One Choice. One Choice, decided your friends. One Choice, defines your beliefs. One Choice, determines your loyalties - Forever. ONCE CHOICE CAN TRANSFORM YOU” (Roth back cover).This relates to Jurassic Park because the parks owner, John Hammond, used new technology to restore the dinosaurs. There were many problems within the park because almost everything had changed some way and therefore they were unaware of how to handle these animals, as how they were unable to create a stable solution to handle the people’s outrage after the
