In Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park," the narrative showcases a theme of false security, where the characters believe that everything is under control. The quote, "we haven't had any accidents for months now...Everything on that island is perfectly fine," reflects a superficial sense of safety that the characters feel regarding the stability of the park. This optimism masks the underlying dangers that exist due to the unpredictability of nature and human interference with it.
As the story unfolds, the confidence expressed in this quote becomes increasingly ironic. The characters' assurance of safety serves to heighten the tension as the audience knows that the park's true risks are imminent. Crichton illustrates how reliance on technology and perceived order can lead to catastrophic consequences when the limits of control are tested by the power of life itself, making the narrative a cautionary tale about the hubris of modern science.
