Paradise Regained

Have you ever heard of the “Attorney for the Damned?” Both Clarence Darrow and Henry Drummond were set to win impossible cases. In the play Inherit the wind and the real-life Scopes Monkey Trial, Darrow and Drummond were on the impossible side. The trials were evolution against religion. Darrow and Drummond both had to represent the side of evolution in a religious-biased town. In the play Inherit the Wind, the character, Henry Drummond, parallels his real-life counterpart, Clarence Darrow, through

away from him. Prometheus had his liver ripped away and Victor Frankenstein had his love ones taken away from him. Both Prometheus and Victor Frankenstein suffer by “ playing God,”. Prometheus crafts man while Victor crafts the daemon. In Paradise Lost by John Milton, Satan and his legion of followers were cast out of Heaven and put into Hell. Satan was cast out because he challenged the authority of God. Like Victor Frankenstein and Prometheus the Titan, Satan did something that caused him

qualities with typical Christian qualities, I will argue that this Monster embodies a plurality of Christian qualities, although they do not prevent him from his brutal revenge. Frankenstein’s Monster knows a lot about Christianity because it reads Paradise Lost by Milton which records the events of Genesis. Here the creature “learned a lesson about man’s place in the order of things”, as Robert M. Ryan argues (152). After this lecture, Frankenstein’s Monster knows that there is a creator, a God who

The first place the lies come in is to the frontal lobe. So Satan puts into the mind some kind of negative thought, such as…Your fat, your broke. You’re going to die poor, your ugly, your lost, God doesn’t love you, He’s not listening, He’s not going help you, No one is going to help you., No one likes you, No one cares, kill yourself, hurt and murder others and so on… The demon puts that thought into the brain into the mind and then the person receives that thought. The fear demon strikes next and

Background When Frankenstein was adapted for stage in 1823 the production's title was Presumption; or, The Fate of Frankenstein. A Victorian audience was concerned with the theme of a man's ambition to replace God by creating a new species. Equal emphasis was placed on this aspect of the novel in the 1831 introduction of Frankenstein, "It is Mary Shelly's critique of where such highly abstracted creative powers can lead when put in a 'realizing' scientific context and then driven along by 'lofty

Betrayal is a major topic that many authors often integrate into their literature. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein betrayal plays a large role in the influence on characters’ actions and the consequences they face. Shelley explores the negative results that one can yield if they betray their values and those they love. In doing so, Shelley conveys that in betraying one’s moral obligations and their values, they often harm themselves and those they love. One of the main protagonists, Victor Frankenstein

In the ninth book of Paradise Lost by John Milton, Adam and Eve fall, leaving the reader wondering who caused the fall between Adam and Eve. I blame Adam and Eve each for his or her own fall; I argue how Eve causes her own fall, how Adam causes his own fall, they did not cause each other’s falls, they fell by themselves. One of the main stances scholars taken claims that Eve caused the fall of both her and Adam. Christopher Baker looks at the use of the word ‘ingorg’d’ shortly after the fall of

Damaged “I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on.” (165)     In the statement made by Frankenstein’s Creature to Walter, Mary Shelley utilizes emotionally charged diction and biblical allusions in order to demonstrate the motif of abortion. The strong language, that the Creature uses regarding itself, defines the feelings of great loss and depression, such emotions that it’s creator, Victor Frankenstein, felt throughout the novel. The quotation

they hold over men. In the poems of Paradise Lost and the Rape of Lock, two women who are so alike and so different both display the same power of the men they are suppose to be inferior to by manipulating them to carry out tasks they want done, but cannot do on their own accord. Both of these women knew they were seen as inferior but used men’s weakness to their beauty to deceive them. To begin, it is made evident that women were created to benifit men. In Paradise Lost, Adam was made by God as a perfect

The initial connotation of the word daemon brings about thoughts of demons, making mirrored parallels between the characters of Satan in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, and the daemon in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein legitimate; however, further analysis of the word daemon links itself to Ancient Greeks. They believed a daemon was a being trapped somewhere between being considered a god and a human, or as a fallen hero. Although Milton’s novel sympathizes with Satan as a character, it still acknowledges
