Frankenstein and Paradise LostMary Shelley created a subversive and grotesque God/Man relationship in "Frankenstein." Shelly makes Frankenstein and, sometimes, Man in general, the God of the monster. Shelley's integration with Paradise Lost creates the opportunity to make such comparisons. When the Monster gives his review of the classic found book, he states: "It stirred every feeling of wonder and awe that the image of an all-powerful God at war with his creatures was capable of exciting." This is reminiscent of the war he wages with Frankenstein when his wishes are denied. He then goes on to connect the characters in the story to his own situation. The plot of the monster's life follows a mutated version of Adam's life as he read it in Paradise Lost. At one point he says, "But it was all a dream; no Eve soothed my sorrows or shared my thoughts; I was alone. I remembered Adam's plea to his Creator. But where was mine? The monster relates to Adam and expects the same treatment from his “God”. The full realization of Adam and Eve's mockery is barely missed when Frankenstein decides to relieve Man of the burden of his race of monsters by refusing to create the monster's bride. Just as he has the power to create, he has the power to destroy. Yet ultimately it is the monster who is in control and ultimately triumphs in the final chase, outliving its creator. Just as with Adam, the role of the monster is also compared to that of Satan in Paradise Lost: “Many times I have considered Satan the most appropriate emblem of my condition; because often, like him, when I saw the happiness of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me. » The monster is like Satan in the sense that he is rejected by the beings of which he was once a part. Even if he doesn't remember it, perhaps he feels its similarity, but also a horrible mutation and a punished rejection. The monster's duality between Adam and Satan allows him to decide his plan of action. It is important to note that he assumes the role of Adam before resorting to the methods learned from Satan. In Paradise Lost, Adam and Eve are banished from the Garden of Eden for eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. In the same way, Frankenstein's happy and loving life is shattered during the creation of the monster..
