“It presented to me then as exquisite and divine a retreat as Pandaemonium appeared to the daemons of hell after their sufferings in the lake of fire” (p.73). Frankenstein’s monster tells him his entire story since his creation. Here he references the poem Paradise Lost by John Milton, an English poet. The author uses comparisons of the monster's life to others works, which makes the reader (and most like Frankenstein as well) wonder where and how the monster received all of this information so quickly.
