dc.description.abstractThe main focus of this book revolves around the concept of apocalypse, which is revealed in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, H. G. Wells’s The Island of Dr. Moreau and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. It has been traced as theinevitable result of the following interrelated developments in the recorded history of humankind: the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and the ideology of industrialism, which marked the first step toward the modern world; the rise of science and technology, driven by industrialism, which led to the advent and reign of colonialism and imperialism; and, finally, the rise and dominance of capitalism, along with its negative effects on people's lives, all of which are tightly interconnected. To reveal both the apocalypse and the apocalyptic vision of each relevant novelist, this study follows new historicist approach and Foucault’s theories regarding biopower/politics. Considering all these, it has been evidenced by the three novels within the scope of this study that hubris and the greed for more power, which are revealed in the ceaseless yearning for developments in both science and technology, pave the way for the imminent outbreak of the apocalypse through the idea of manmade creation of a living either by assembling parts of a corpse or by transforming animals into human beings or creating many manmade human beings to maintain and sustain the totalitarian power.
