Like Adam, I was apparently united by no link to any other being in existence; but his state was far different from mine in every other respect. He had come forth from the hands of God a perfect creature, happy and prosperous, guarded by the especial care of his Creator; he was allowed to converse with and acquire knowledge from beings of a superior nature, but I was wretched, helpless, and alone. Many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition, for often, like him, when I viewed the bliss of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me.

Throughout all the experts of the novel we’ve read, one of the main themes is beauty, in this passage it’s Satan. In this passage the creature takes it a step further to explain his living condition and his experience as a reference to Satan. What triggers me is how he mentions Adam and says “he come forth the hands of god , a perfect creature” , it is well known about Adam and the creation of the world in 7 days. The creator takes something as beautiful as that and than compares himself to Satan , saying he is best to fit his image. It’s a little drastic , we all know the Devil was no good , he was the bad apple and tried to make everyone come to his side. The creature isn’t a bad person, his feeling of jealous is normal because he didn’t wish to be created looking as monstrous as he does. The reference of beauty here holds sort of the stereotypical idea of beauty , to put it up against goodness and evil , which doesn’t doesn’t truly define ones heart is interesting. The comparison here goes to show you the ways in how our brains are set up in from past times.
