Eden Sher

The story of a creation cast down to a (both literal and metaphorical) hell is the basis of both John Milton’s Paradise Lost and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. It is of no coincidence that the novel Victor’s monster comes upon and reads is Paradise Lost - from it the monster is able to find some kinship in a fictional tortured soul much like him who lost the safety of their creator’s realm and was thus left to essentially rot alone. The monster’s story echoes in many ways the story of Adam and the…

Tyler Vaughn Susan Sibbach Honors English 11 December 2015 The Uprising of Creature Creature, in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, grew angry with the way he was brought into this world without having family or friends to reach out to for guidance. He did not fit in with others and this had low self-esteem because he could not fit in with others. It wasn’t just Creature’s appearance, his attitude and the way he acted also did not allow him to fit in with everybody else. Creature was not…

Satan disguised as a cherub tricks Uriel, one of the seven archangels, and as soon as he realizes his mistake he warns Gabriel that someone has trespassed the Garden of Eden. Milton describes the devolution or degeneration of Satan since the rebellion to when he faces Gabriel and the other archangels in Eden. He starts as an archangel (when God creates him); then to a cherub (much lesser angel); from cherub to a bird (which is the last shape he has with the ability to fly); a lion and then a…

Motif- The Sea Quote Literary/ Style Elements Commentary Additional Ideas “The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in the abyss of solitude.” (15,124) Personification of the sea. Sounds of the sea create imagery. Chopin personifies the sea as a seductress to rationalize the pull it has on Edna.

Redemption There are many ways the book of Genesis has signified the theme of redemption. Redemption is the act of a person or god in which he/she is taking a wrong doing and turning it into something right. In the earliest part of the book of Genesis, Eve took the apple from the serpent and Adam and Eve consumed it. They both have sinned and established a wrong doing in front of God. God then asks them in verse eleven “Have you eaten from the tree of witch I commanded you not to eat?” God said…

Chapter Six, "Combining Words and Deeds Angelic Imprecations in the Book of Secrets," continues on with Jewish mystical tradition; only this time, the focus is placed on a Jewish magical witchcraft text the Book of Secrets or the Book of Raziel. Janowitz rightfully compares it with the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM), as it has many practical spells--ranging everything from healing the sick, divining the future, influencing kings in your favor, binding yourself to a "great woman", and speaking with…

Scriptures also says that God created man and female, blessing them (KJV Gen 5:2). Life began in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. God destroyed the Earth with the water, but spared Noah and his family. Mankind was then replenished with those that survived the flood. (85 words)…

“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel -‘Thou mayest’ that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world,” cried Lee, a character in East of Eden, by John Steinbeck (add citation). Timshel originates from the biblical story of Cain and Abel. The passage in which Lee is speaking, refers to God’s words regarding Cain’s actions. In the Hebrew text, God utilizes the word “timshel” to unveil to Cain that he holds the personal authority to surpass evil, if he chooses to do so.…

Able not Angel Women are the mother, the wife, the object of infatuation, a symbol for something else, and a villain. She has been marked with the original sin, forever doomed to repent. She is to be ashamed off, brushed off, controlled. This is what the role of women has been written of as in a multitude of literature, but this is also how she is treated. She is never to be the hero; she is the only there to assistance him in his journey. There have been the occasional defiant of these tropes…

says that everything was created by God in the matter of 7 days. God had created a sustainable environment called the garden of Eden. Adam (the first human) was to be in command of everything on the earth, including the animals, but none where killed until Eve (the wife of Adam) committed the first sin. They were punished for what they did and banished from the Garden of Eden and they were basically released into the world. The difference is clear, but in all honestly they both know that nature…
