Further confirmation on how much Milton's Paradise Lost influenced Mary Shelley's writing, and how the creature identifies with a "God and Satan" type relationship with his creator as opposed to a "God and Adam" type relationship: " Many times I consider Satan as the filter emblem of my condition: for often, like him, when I viewed the bliss of my pretectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me." (p.132) - Shelley, Mary. "Frankenstein". London : Penguin Classics, 1992
