Very old accounts of fallen angels and real-life devils exists not as just myths and legends; on the contrary, occur as an intricate segment of our world, both past and present. Accordingly, for readers that would like in-depth evidence and explanations concerning the evolution of what I call the Religion of Lust, the following section broadens Part II; continuing on the journey through time into ancient orgiastic cults that evokes Satan’s perpetual existence. In Part III, my foremost purpose…

Indeed, Holland was keen to stress as early as 1590 that contemporary witchcraft was referenced by scripture “in generall”. It is in this way, Sharpe argues, that the notion of the covenant fitted into a wider Protestant ideology which conceptualised the world as consisting of binary opposites. Whilst Ethan Shagan has asserted that the divines of early modern England commonly sought a ‘via media’ in their beliefs, Patrick Collinson has convincingly argued instead for the central role of…

Everyone has heard multiple rumors in their lives. Some are constructed in a way that makes them seem believable while others are so outlandish it seems impossible to fathom how anyone could believe such a thing.

Frankenstein Man’s natural state, according to the philosophical pioneer Rousseau, is inherently good. Unadulterated by corrupt influences, man’s innate response is to do all things right, including keeping one’s duties. Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” solidifies this theory of a native righteousness in humanity, and provides the character of Dr. Frankenstein as a soul soiled by society, specifically his family. Victor Frankenstein, born into a wealthy, loving family, appears to be nurtured within…

While the Creature is inadequate of gaining his visibility in society, he can retain a sense of moral comprehension of the real world that inflicts his own emotions and conscience. Victor does not feel abashed by his action of abandoning his greatest invention of all time, but instead, he loathes the existence of it. His cowardice arises and persists throughout the entire story until he is deceased. Readers cannot blame the Creature for being a villain in the story, because what he experiences…

Genesis 2:23 tells the readers Adam’s first spoken words when he saw Eve was, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman,…

‘Frankenstein intertextuality The novel, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, and Satan’s soliloquy from Book 4 of John Milton’s Paradise Lost share ideas regarding the role societal rules play in the expulsion of outsiders. In Frankenstein, the society does not give the monster a chance. The monster decides to adapt a disregard for societal values and begins killing people.
