‘Daemon’ is the term Victor Frankenstein uses to refer to his monster. However‚ I believe the real daemon is Victor himself. Firstly‚ I think his obsession with playing God in the beginning of the novel can be associated with a common belief that ‘playing God’ is an act of the devil. This belief is often found in religions as it is believed that God is the only and ultimate creator and to take upon creating new life into your own hands is evil. Victor explicitly posses this trait as‚ mentioned before

ak to the people they are watching over such as the instance in the Odyssey where Athena comes to Ithaca to visit Telemachus and reassure him that his father will be coming home and recommends a journey for the boy and to wait a year to allow him to make it home (pg.296). Though Telemachus may have not known it was Athena this is an example of a seen and heard Goddess which allows for her to reassure the boy. It is also seen with Achilles and Athena in the Iliad when Achilles is about to fight to

You know‚ I read in a book once that women desire attention. Even the Devil knew that and so he chose to go to naked Eve to tempt her‚ since he had just one chance. He knew if He had gone to naked Adam‚ we would still be in the garden and Adam would still be the only one who has tasted the forbidden fruit. Perhaps‚ Naked Eve would notice herself with the amazing figures God had given to her and it was impossible for Adam to notice when his eyes where not yet opened. She opened his eyes... so he could

Grendel and the “Monster” The character of Grendel in John Gardner’s is more appealing than the “monster” in the novel Frankenstein by Mary W.

In the chapters 4 and 5 from the book “Frankenstein”‚ explains how he creates the creature and the ideas that lead him to his creation. In the beginning of chapter 4‚ it made it pretty obvious that Frankenstein was interested in the idea of dead people. For example‚ Frankenstein stated that “to examine the causes of life‚ we must first have to recourse to death‚”(Shelley 18). This proves to show that Frankenstein was already planning on making his creature apart of death. Another process that Frankenstein

No parents or adults in sight and you’re deep down in the hot jungle with a couple of friends but you look around and you see a beautiful‚ peaceful place full of opportunity that reminds you of something that would have came straight from the bible.

The Garden of Eden was described in Genesis Chapters 2-3 and God created the

The use of symbolism also strengthens the prevailing theme by tying in additional hidden messages to the novel. The process of Frankenstein relaying his story is painful for him because it is symbolic that he never learned from his mistakes or repented. He expresses this grief to Walton “I cannot describe to you the agony that these reflections inflicted upon me; I have tried to dispel them‚ but sorrow only increased with knowledge” (Shelley 83). Frankenstein’s story shows how his entire pursuit
