Frankenstein’s monster’s entrance to life was the complete opposite of that of Adam’s in Paradise Lost; Adam came into life as a perfect being, loved by God and prosperous in all respects. The monster, however, was brought into life an experiment, and had never known love from anyone he had met, including his creator. Shelley incorporates Paradise Lost into Frankenstein in many character parallels, as the creation is comparable to both Adam and Satan in different respects; he monster being the first of his kind like Adam and being abandoned like Satan.
