n the novel Frankenstein, the creature says the following to Victor: "I am thy creature: I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed."

In saying these words, which biblical or mythological character does the creature parallel?

Abraham
Satan
Prometheus
Zeus

I am not sure but reading this a couple times has made me think that it might be Satan because Satan was a fallen angel because of all the bad deeds he did. The quotation talks about being Adam and we all know that Satan had knew Adam better than Zeus, Abraham or Prometheus. He knew him because he convinced Adam to create a sin and made sin enter the world. From this i think that the answer is Satan because from the other answers no one was a fallen angel except for Satan. Forgive me if I am wrong but i hope i helped :)

Satan as in the story it is compared to a monster countless times and in so it say "I ought to be thy Adam "in which it is longing to be human such as the story of Adam and Eve however the writer also points out multiple of times that it is not human and this is back up by it saying "I am thy creature" suggestions it's not human it is only an object or animal made as god made the earth it is there for saying it is a creature of god.however the line "but I am rather the fallen angel ,whom thou drivers from joy for no misdeeds " this is the answer it's self that the monster is satan
