In <strong>\u201cThe Island of Doctor Moreau\u201d<\/strong> (1896) by <strong>Herbert George Wells<\/strong>, the main intention goes beyond telling a horror or science fiction story. Wells uses the island and the doctor\u2019s experiments to criticise and reflect on several themes.<\/p>\n<p>The novel\u2019s main intentions are a critique of science without ethics, since the character of Doctor Moreau represents the scientist who experiments without moral limits and Wells questions whether science should have ethical boundaries; a reflection on what it means to be human, given that the creatures created by Moreau, half animal and half human, show how fragile civilisation is and raise the question of what truly distinguishes us from animals; a social critique of Victorian society, in which the author also suggests that the social norms that make us civilised may be artificial and fragile; and a warning about power and control, since Moreau tries to impose laws on his creatures, symbolising authoritarian control and the consequences of playing God.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the novel is not only about monsters or experiments but also about the limits of science, human nature, and morality. A very fitting reflection at a time when \u201ctherians\u201d have become fashionable, people who feel a deep, spiritual or psychological connection with an animal, identifying themselves inwardly as such.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August Corominas reflects on human and animal identity, and scientific ethics, in the article &#8220;The Island of Doctor Moreau and the
