Post-humanism decentralizes human existence and its supremacy. It embraces the human body in a ‘non-human’ way and produces the reality in an ‘unreal’ way. According to humanists, humans are supreme and powerful, but the post-humanists give importance to the inter-connectivity and interdependence of human and non-human entities, and by embracing the hybridity, posthuman ethics reconfigure the definition of a human being. This paper tries to explore the posthuman ethics with a comparative analysis of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818), Nancy Farmer’s The House of the Scorpion (2002) and the film Enthiran (2010), directed by S. Shankar. This study engages the posthumanist thinkers like Rosi Braidotti, Cary Wolfe and Donna Haraway. In this paper, we can find how a creature, a robot and a clone pose a challenge against the anthropocentric hierarchy and call for a posthuman ethical understanding. This paper also explores that humanity belongs not only to a biological body but also to compassion, ethical behavior, and shared vulnerability.
