Dorian Gray
ESSAYThis essay will show the ups and downs of the novels Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. It will be proven that both these novels are linked in similarity by alienation. This essay will also hopefully give you some insight in to the inner working of both novels. The common link between novels is alienation.Both Dorian and the robots share the similarity of being called many names due to their differences. For Dorian it's his youthful looks. "There goes the devil's bargain" The lady that states this has grown old in the time that Dorian has remained unchanged (Wilde 163). The robots are also despised; they are disliked and in most cases hated because of their superiority and different appearance. The people in the stories know very little about robots, all that they know
This is because for the most part they felt better than every one else. For Dorian it's regretting his wish to be forever young, and his youthful appearance " He remembered how pleased he used to be when he was pointed out, stared at or talked about, he was tired of hearing his name" (Wilde 189). Hopefully the essay was interesting and informative, and at least provoked thoughts. He goes from feeling on top of that world, to just wanting to be left alone. Weston a character from the novel I, Robot and the story "Robie" knows that the robot treats her daughter exceedingly well and would never hurt her, but she also knows that the robot does a far better job in raising her daughter than she ever could. The robots start thinking of themselves as superior, and seeing humans as nothing but a waste of space. The robots also take a change of attitude opposed to being submissive like normal. Dorian's friends wonder how he keeps his youth, and secretly despise him for it. He becomes secluded and pushes people away, people push him away, and the painting in the schoolroom destroys his life. is that the robots are better than them in virtually every aspect, and they hate that " Robie was just a machine a nasty old machine" (Asimov 14). They take a dictating stance " The master created humans as the lowest type" (Asimov 64). They are both pushed out of society and eventually remove them selves and the people they dislike from society, mainly by force. Due to society's ignorance Dorian and the robots are shunned.
