Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
"But 'Paradise Lost'...deeper emotions." 113
Paradise Lost is an epic poem that was written in ten books and then seperated into twelve. It was written by John Milton. It is about Adam and Eve and their creation and expulsion from Eden. Frankenstein's creation is filled with interest in the story that is about an all powerful being warring against his creations. He connects to the story because its like his creator warring against him. He also connects with Adam in the fact that he was all alone at the dawn of his creation not knowing anything of what had occurred before. He contrasts himself from the story because he is not being carefully watched over by his creator; he is alone and "wretched." The book inspires feelings of wonder, excitement, and hurt.
