“(168) This novel gave the idea of suicide to the Monster which was inflicted upon being denied by everyone and not knowing his spot in humanity. As the Monster read “Paradise Lost” he connected to having a war with his creator, and believes that he was Victor’s “Satan”. Thinking in the role of Satan, the Monster kills Victor’s family, just like Satan took away God’s angels.

Dead man walking 1) I thought that Matthew Poncelet is quite a tough character, I didn’t really like him as I thought some of his words and actions were quite nasty and hash.
