Frankenstein and Paradise Lost are amazing novels that follow the lives of the creator and one main creation that inevitably acts out against their creators. Though the stories are written at different time periods and implement a different genre, they definitely share similarities throughout the texts. The stories feature creators that had great intentions with the beings that they created, however there was a turn for the worse. Both creators sought to have the most beautiful creations but…

White’s Charlotte’s Web, Natalie Babbitt’s Tuck Everlasting and Katherine Paterson’s Bridge to Terabithia.

This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.” (Ecclesiastes 6:9 NKJV) in this text from the Bible wandering is constrained to a negative meaning but, in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, constraint is found and broken throughout the poem.
