This paper engages with Carl Rogers’ Theory of Humanism and uses it to analyze the character of David from two recent films in the Alien move franchise – Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Humanism has its focus set on individuals. In the life of an individual, they constantly experience something – it is a continuous process. These experiences could either be positive or negative. Every bit of experience one gains provides to their growth, and would in one way or the other, be increasing the potential that they possess. Not just the potential, it would be letting a person find the meaning of life; it helps them move forward. David is the individual in focus; and his character in both films are structured in a way that the experiences he goes through, the people he interacts with and all the elements he face results in the development of his character and personality. These points will be examined through various angles presented in the theory, and David’s journey from being a mere android to something more will be analyzed.
