Exploring the concept of the frontier, this seminar paper analyzes the parallels and differences between Thoreau's "Walden" and Spielberg's "Jurassic Park." It investigates how the frontier serves as a mythological tool in American culture, tracing its evolution over 150 years. By comparing the romantic introspection in Thoreau's work with the consumer-driven appeal of the blockbuster film, the paper aims to uncover the cultural connections and transformations of the frontier concept amid societal changes. It seeks to distill deeper meanings from both classical literature and mass culture.
