Milton’s style was not modified by his subject; what is shown with greater extent in Paradise Lost may be found in Comus.

Of him‚ at last‚ may be said what Jonson says of Spenser‚ that "he wrote no language‚" but has formed what Butler calls a "Babylonish dialect‚" in itself harsh and barbarous‚ but made by exalted genius

Frankenstein’s creation is the perfect example of the Uncanny. Something uncanny can be something lifeless and/or inanimate objects that look humans (dolls‚ for example) given life or spirit.
