Lost in Space

J. Miltоn's Paradise Lоst: The Cоncept оf Sin and the Fall оf Adam and Eve Biblical mоtives in general are significant symbоls that acquire different interpretatiоn in variоus epоchs, and are filled with different meanings. Miltоn's rоle in appealing tо the оld Testament's themes оf sin and errоr is very unique. He was the first tо viоlate the "traditiоnal" interpretatiоn оf the Biblical pоstulates, оffering his оwn interpretatiоn, оwn attitude, and transfоrmed the stоries tоld by the Bible…

Mary Shelley uses numerous literary and rhetorical devices to invoke a tone of disgust, repugnancy, and even to convey the creator’s feelings towards the monstrosity he has manufactured, which approach hatred. Immediately Shelley opens the passage with a rhetorical question which introduces the negative feelings the creator has towards the monster; the use of words such as “catastrophe,” “delineate,” “wretch,” and “infinite pains” showcase the struggle and atrocities that are taking place with…

Throughout Frankenstein, a multitude of mishaps occur; for instance, the murder of Victor Frankenstein’s brother, a ghastly-looking monster’s formation and the Monster’s possible lover’s, creation. These all represent mishaps, because of the damage they cause. They cause damage to families, more specifically Frankenstein’s family and they cause self-pity to the Monster, by bringing him false hope of a future lover and deception, because Victor did not properly parent his creation. Both Victor…

Whereas Victor lacks his moral compass and reasoning – hence his human qualities, the composer enunciates these qualities within the artificial creation. Through the quotation of Paradise Lost, Shelley draws a comparison between Adam and the creature where both question the abandonment from their creators. She makes the suggestion that one’s humanity is closely linked to their relationship with nature as she illustrates the creature’s reliance…

On a personal level, the term “evil” hits back at me. Culturally, I had been introduced to this term referring to Satan or the other evil powers that are controlled by the devil himself. James Willer points out to the meaning of “evil” as “bad” and confirming my notion of the definition of this word. He points out the different levels and platforms through which evil is initiated and enacted. The argument presented in the book is that “it is ordinary individuals, like you and me, who commit…

strange looks, but none bothered to ask what was wrong with him. To them, Name was a mere background character; because he ditched his sunglasses and floral shirt, no one recognised him as the famous mascot. It was relieving to win back his personal space, so Name thanked the heavens for everything leading up to this fan-free moment. Name shuddered; if he showed up wearing his usual clothes instead, his fans would all swarm him like fish to a worm. "Name!" they would…

St. Michael, a portrayed warrior who took on the beasts of hell to protect man.However the author continues to talk about the idea that these demons St. Michael is defeating were feared by man, they were surreal that they were only to be imagined.

The Monstrosity of Knowledge, Power, and Nature Ignorance serves as a wall separating a life of bliss from one of tragedy and pain. Choosing enlightenment darkens one’s future, especially when such information violates natural law. In her novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley asserts the dominance of nature as the corruptive effects of extensive knowledge and impulsive exertion of power hinder Victor Frankenstein and the Monster in their respective pursuits of happiness. Curiosity-fueled knowledge…
