The dark monolithic pyramid masking Tyrell’s well-lit room shadows the monstrosity in the principles of the Tyrell Corporation. Through “immortal themes of cheating death and controlling emotions”, the audience receives insight to the monstrosity being developed within humane society, much like F, where Victor banishes his own creation. In the scene where Roy Batty
Roy Batty and Deckard are both able to show us what it means to be human. To what extent do you agree? Through Blade Runner, we see an epic quest filled with meaning and symbolism applicable to the human condition. Replicants are basically human beings, except for the fact that they lack a history.

Empathy is the ability to place oneself in the position of another living being and understand that person’s
