Satan
The resemblance to Satan stems at first from the Creature's sense
of having no place in the universe, of being designed for
alienation in the fulfillment of the Genesis. This is, indeed, the ground
upon which his colloquy with Victor Frankenstein began: see 2.2.4
and note. The Satanic prototype will extend,
however, to the point of having external not simply psychological
ramifications: as Satan's only acts are reactions, attempts to undo
the perfection of God's universe, so the Creature will claim Victor's
attention by destroying what he most values.
