Detail Analysis of [Curie]
Concept Drama of Maria Curie’s inner Conflict and worries about the fatality of Radium even if she won the Nobel prize for Radium.
Author’s voice I’d not like to write about the Curie’s life with founding Radium and winning Nobel twice as considering her achievements but like to write about Curie herself as a human. Especially I want to focus her attitude about Radium (Radioactive) which affected to the development of mankind as a scientist. This is definitely a story of her inner conflicts, agony and restoration during she was silent about Radium even if she was dying for disease.
Summary Maria Sklodowska is the first ever female student who entered Sorbonne, the best university in Paris. After she got married to a young scientist Pier Curie, she found Radium(Radioactivity) with her husband’s support and help. The Curies give up their patent of Radium and dedicate Radium to the mankind believing that ‘the science should not be a means of moneymaking’, even if they became the winner of Nobel Prize by Radium. Soon, various kinds of radium products come out and people are crazy about them. But more and more reports about the fatality of Radium to human body come up, and female workers who use Radium begin to die. In the end, a trial is held to measure the danger of Radium. Pier Curie recognizes Radium’s fatality through experiments and wants to declare the fact honestly, but Maria, who is hard to believe that her Radium is danger as a deadly poison, repeats her experiment to prove the innocence of Radium….
