Matt and Vincent may be from two different storylines, but they have a lot in common. In both Matt’s and Vincent’s world you are what you are when you are born or in some cases genetically made. In Matt’s world, power means everything. It is a hot and dry place with fields of blindingly white flowers in every direction. Whereas in Vincent’s world, DNA means everything. It’s in a city type environment with what seems to be a si-fi theme. It seems like these two characters are discriminated from the population of the people. Matt is a person who was altered from another person’s cell and Vincent was weak in society because he wasn’t altered and ended up with a heart condition. Most people look down on Matt and Vincent because of these defects and treat them differently because of how their societies portray them. In these two different societies you have to be perfect and not have a single fault. Perfect people get to go to Gattaca in Gattaca and perfect people live a happy, wealthy life in The House of the Scorpion. These two storylines have one main theme, this is the theme of DNA. They seem to be set in a futuristic time period. I wonder if this is major theme between not only these two stories but between many other stories?
