Why would Shelley select Milton's Paradise Lost as one of the foundation pieces for Harold's education? Consider the roles of "creator" and "created". With whom does Harold identify? Any irony?
He also identifies himself with the devil. He is cast out into a world where he cannot be accepted into that society he wishes and so sets out on a vendetta against his creator.
besides the fact that Harold can easily identify with the devil in Paradise Lost and the fact that the epic poem is INCREDIBLY well known, the vast majority of people know the first story in the bible and can relate it to Harold's predicament.
*starts humming cheeseburger song from veggie tales*
word....and it could be slightly ironic that with his old innocence/his new found knowledge he could be slightly superior than his creator (victor), makeing him feel more confused and rejected.
"Ehem.. And now it's time for love songs with Mr.Lunt, The part of the show where Mr.Lunt comes out, and Sings a love song. He said to her "I'd like a cheeseburger, And i might like a milkshake as well", She said to him "i cant give you either", And he said "isn't this this burger bell?", She said "yes it is, but were closed now, But we open tommorow at ten!", HE SAID "I AM EXTREMELY HUNGRY!!!! But i guess i can wait until then......"
(Chorus) Coz' your his Cheeseburger, His yummy Cheeseburger, He'll wait for you-ooo, YAH! He'll wait for you-ooo, Oh, You are his Cheeseburger, His tasty Cheeseburger, He'll wait for you-ooo, Oh, he will wait for you.
(verse 2) He stayed at the drive-thru till sunrise, He may have dozed of once or twice, when he spotted a billboard for 'Denny's', Bacon and Eggs for half price, How could he resist such an offer? He REALLY needed somthing to munch! Cheeseburger please do not get angry! He'll eat and be back here for lunch!
(Chorus) Coz' your his Cheeseburger, He's priceless Cheeseburger, Be back for you-ooo, He'll be back for you-ooo, Won't be so long Cheeseburger, Oh lovely Cheeseburger, Be back for you-ooo, Oh he'll be back for you!
(bridge) Coz' he loves his Cheeseburger with all his heart, And there ain't nothing gonna tear you two-oo apart, And if the world suddenly ran out of cheese, He would get down on his hands and knees, To see if someone accidenly dropped some cheese in the dirt, Then he would wash it up for you, Wipe it up for you, Clean that dirty cheese up just for YOU!!!!!!
You are his Cheese-bur-GER!!"
This is the only thought that came to MY mind...shows I'm a senior, huh?
*looks up* hm, yes, what Ali said. And Victor identifies with the "fallen angel," who tried to achieve omnipotence and was thrust from salvation. Likewise, Victor speaks of looking in on Eden into the face of an archangel with his arm thrust out blocking his path. Because he tried to play God, and because of the life he led, he is ruined, or "fallen" if you will.
I think the monster identifies more with the Devil than with Adam. He feels that he has just been abandoned with no help at all from his father figure and is now left to discover this world on his own. How can he be expected to know the difference bt what is good and what is bad if nobody shows him. He is left to do what he wants with no real consecunces since he is already at rock bottom, just like the Devil. The book is used because it is so well known and so apt to this novel.

Harold, of course, identifies with Adam. He feels alone and rejected by the "god" who created him--thrust out of Eden and all of that.
He also identifies himself with the devil. He is cast out into a world where he cannot be accepted into that society he wishes and so sets out on a vendetta against his creator.
besides the fact that Harold can easily identify with the devil in Paradise Lost and the fact that the epic poem is INCREDIBLY well known, the vast majority of people know the first story in the bible and can relate it to Harold's predicament.

I'd say Harold identifies with Lucifer. He has been abandoned by his father figure like Lucifer being cast into his hellish realm.

It's sad that, unlike Lucifer or Adam, Harold did nothing to deserve isolation. He was just, well, ugly. How depressing for him. :(
Yeah, he didn't take it so well...
it is depressing. can we kick Victor out instead? he was the one to create Harold.....
