He is a rebellious being because the creator “dared” to create such a creature like the Tyger as mentioned in the last line of the poem.…

Fire is arguably the greatest knowledge that mankind ever received, and with time, sparked all further technical developments, allowing for man to transcend mere animals. The story of Prometheus, tells of how the titan Prometheus gifts fire to man, and all of the beneficial consequences that subsequently arose from this knowledge. 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. However, even though the fire of Frankenstein remains heavily symbolic, Promethean in nature and seemingly unlike the fire of Paradise Lost, it possesses similarities that lack negligibility.…

Soon after starting back to church I was drawn by the Lord to rededicate my life and started to change a lot of things about myself in that time.…
I am going to convict Victor Frankenstein for many murders. He created a being that destroyed many lives, including, close family and friends.
