Question

Both Frankenstein and the creature make Biblical allusions in Chapter 10. How do the Biblical allusions in the text help the reader to understand Dr. Frankenstein's point of view about his creature, the creature's point of view about Dr. Frankenstein, and each one's view of himself?

Answer 1

Answer:

this chapter shows an almighty and virtuous Victor and a submissive, sinner,  and suffering creature.

Explanation:

Victor Frankenstein in comparison to his creature is all-powerful, able to "trample him to dust", and at the same time, He calls him to repentance of all his murders (sins).

The Creature sees Dr. Victor, his Creator as the one who plays with him giving life, and submissively accepts whatever Mr. Frankenstein decides to do with him.  Although He will practice revenge on Frankenstein remaining friends.

It's clear an imperfect analogy between God and Job. In the Bible, God decides to leave the Devil to make all evil in Job's life.

Even though there is a huge difference between Job and Frankenstein's creature, this chapter shows an almighty and virtuous Victor and a submissive creature, sinner, suffering one.

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the monster, says he will be honored as a creator and source of life. This statement refers to the Bible because of the thought of man's creation. Frankenstein appears as a man comparable to God.

The Lost Paradise is the story of Adam and Eve and the fall of Satan. ... Victor Frankenstein, however, identifies himself with Satan because he is likely to suffer because he is rebelling against God and making his creation. The creation of Frankenstein's monster can be interpreted as an allegory of Genesis's created story. As in that story, Frankenstein portrays the creature (that is, a human being - albeit in an unusual way) and animates the beast.
