as Pandæmonium appeared
This is the Creature's second knowing reference to Milton's Paradise
Lost (see I.670ff. and X.418ff.): the first was when he
remarked that Victor, in creating him, had cast him as Satan rather than
Adam (2.2.5). The oddity of these
learned citations goes unremarked for now, but will be explained four
chapters later (2.7.4).
