Jurassic Park: 4th Iteration 1st Hour
Characters
Dennis Nedry: his death (217-218).
Ironic (Nature vs. Person): dies in the effort of stealing for another company to build a new park (dilophosaurous reason for death in more ways than one).
Blinded by his own motivation and also blinded in his death (dinosaur spit poison). Symbolically killed.
Ed Regis: responsibility and self-preservation (236).
Runs away from the big T-rex only to be killed by the juvenille.
Symbolic death/manner of death.
John Hammond: irony of his hatre
Ian Malcolm: representative of both chaos and order. -worst hurt by the T-rex attack, but survives. -survives everything.
Character shift/reveal: Initially dismissed the kids (). Later risks his life to save them ().
Ellie Saddler's role: mostly as caregiver to Malcolm, despite Malcolm's judgement/sexualization of her as just a girl.
Themes
Profiting off nature will lead to self-destruction: Dennis Nedry, John Hammond,
Nature will punish the self-fish people: Dennis Nedry, Ed Regis
Ongoing theme: Experts discounting external factors with their cockiness/surety of their own intelligence.
"She doesn't even go here."
Amphibian DNA
Flaws come to light when looking at the whole picture.
Everyone on the island has compartmentalized knowledge (Dennis, Hammond, Muldoon)
All are blinded by their own motivation (Hammond focus on money, even to point of ignoring the grandkid's safety).
Only the people who are visiting the island/not invloved in its construction see the flaws (Tim, Grant, Ellie, Lex, Malcolm)
Blindness by self-motivation.
Life/Death situations reveal true human nature.
Symbols
Ed Regis Leg: symbolizes the selfishness
Compys: could symbolize the lack of control people have.
-Karama embodied (fate embodied)
-
Ian Malcom: Voice of reason. Chaos incarnate. Order incarnate.
"Inevitably, underlying instabilities begin to appear." (199).
T-rex: the attack, the T-rex testing the electric fence (demonstrates intelligence rather than tame animal training).
Why the charts and graphs?
Visuals reinforce the scientific nature. Easier to interpret. For the reader's involvement in the text.
Chart on 234 of the breeding dinosaurs.
Separate realizations/side by side: dramatic irony.
At the same time the Control room realizes they are breeding, Grant, Tim, and Lex meet Ralph (baby triceratops). Simultaneous discoveries.
