Frankenstein influenced Blade Runner

The film's climax is Shelley's scene: the made thing confronts the man who made it and asks him for more life, and is refused. Roy Batty finding Tyrell is the creature finding Victor on the ice, with the same demand and the same answer, and both stories give the creature the better argument. Scott and Hampton Fancher have discussed the Promethean frame; the graph already holds Frankenstein pointing at the novel this film adapts, which makes the line worth drawing separately.
