Frankenstein draws from Prometheus to develop the topic of god-like knowledge, and even originally titling itself as The Modern Prometheus. On the other hand, Milton designs fire in Paradise Lost as the incarnation of wrath and pain.

    “Sin, Satan and the Snake” One can help when thinking about sin to go back the Genesis account.

When Jonathan Edwards says “You are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes” the author uses pathos and alliteration in order to emphasize the hate god has and it gives you a fearful emotion because you know you are in mercy of an angry god.
