Tiles "He had come forth from the hands of God a perfect creature, happy and prosperous, guarded by the especial care of his Creator." "like him, when I viewed the bliss of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me." "A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me." Pairs Satan arrowBoth God arrowBoth Adam arrowBoth

The correct answers are:

A- Adam

Mary Shelly presents the monster as a perfect, sin-free creature, that was created and guarded by his creator. Here, she is comparing the monser to Adam, who was, according to the Bible, the first man God create. Adam was given the Garden of Eden, where he was protected by God.

B- Satan

In this passage, Shelly refers to Satan's envy of God. Like in the Bible, the monster feels envious of his creator happiness.

C- God

In the novel, Shelley is clearly comparing Doctor Frankenstein with God, since he believes to be a creator, a person who gives life to other beings.
