Doomsday Conspiracy
Many science fiction stories fall into similar categories based on theme. It is also true that a particular story may have more then one theme contained in the work. In the Novel Doomsday Conspiracy, written by Sidney Sheldon, a very strong and powerful theme stands out. Human beings fear what they don't understand. We all fear what we can't explain. This is also present in the story "Share Alike."In Doomsday Conspiracy, Admiral Whittaker fears what he cannot understand. He is afraid, as well as the entire U.S. Government, that the aliens that have crashed on Earth because they wanted to attack it or cause some sort of harm. He fears the aliens and the crash because he does not understand them. He then assigns Robert Bellamy to find the witnesses that saw the UFO. The Admiral wanted to kill them so the alien could never be brought into the sight
They both have different settings, and characters but both share the same theme. But they are completely different stories. Hofmanstahal was a normal person except for the fact that he was vampire. Craig is scared and fears Erick Hofmanstahal because he is a vampire. So he killed him only to find out that he has now become a vampire and fear himself more then anything. Both stories are trying to teach us a lesson. Craig was so afraid of the fact that Erick was a vampire just because he didn't understand how it was possible or even true. This just scares the heck out of him. At the end of the story Craig kills Erick. He also didn't understand how a vampire lives. Now, in "Share alike," the theme of human beings fearing what they don't understand makes up a lot of the story. Erick must feed off of him to survive but then again it could have just killed Craig. He can't think about it without fear.
