• like Adam Although the Creature here alludes to Adam's instruction by Raphael, which occupies
    the central third of Milton's epic, the imprecation on his creator that follows in
    the next paragraph bears comparison with the fallen Adam's indictment of God and lament
    that he was ever born (X.720ff). Like Adam, although physically he does not bear the
    imprint of his Creator, the Creature is indissolubly bound to Victor Frankenstein,
    as is indicated by his frequent unconscious doublings in language or gesture.
