“Many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition” (p.92). Frankenstein’s monster explains to Frankenstein how he had been so intrigued by Paradise Lost. He could only find one similarity between him and Adam; having no link to anyone else. The creature could, however, find more similarities with the evil Satan. He found himself, like Satan, often full of envy, an emotion that commonly leads to evil-doings. Mary Shelley has her character, the monster, relate himself to an evil character a few times. She could be foreshadowing the future events in her novel.
