Frankenstein

"Remember, that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel". (page 69) I found this quote to be very interesting. It almost emphasized the situational irony in my previous blog. Even the creation knew he should have been accepted with open arms by his creator. He alludes to the Bible by saying that he should have been Adam, the first creation of God. The creation is implicating that Victor was trying to play God. This adds to the theme of creation. Victor should not have done his experiment due to the morals surrounding his work. He is not God, yet he strived to achieve what God does. In addition, the creature recognizes that he is seen as the devil by Victor. This seems to cause sympathy towards him because he has no one else in the world. Even his creator fears him. I think that this also proves that Victor should not have created him since he has made him live in a life of sadness. The selfishness of Victor is portrayed in this one quote made by his creation.
