The creature is his double, his persecutor, and his victim. The lives of him and his creator are strongly linked. Through reading novels like Milton's Paradise Lost he starts wondering about himself and his isolation because of his apparent uniqueness: 'I was apparently united by no link to any other being in existence'. It is obvious that he longs for some kindness, protection and company. These desires become even more evident when he reads the diary that Victor kept during his creation. From these papers, the monster learns that Victor was not at all happy with his creation. This makes him feel even lonelier and disliked. Rousseau's noble savage idea can be linked to the fact that the creature first was innocent, felt emotions and pain just like every human, until he seeks revenge to Frankenstein. And although he later states that all the killings did not make him feel better. He says that he was 'the slave, not the master, of an impulse which I detested, yet could not disobey', an idea similar to the Victor's obsession with science. The monster, just as Victor, reaches a point where he has no feelings left except for hatred.

This is a strong reference to Paradise Lost, as the creature was the first of Frankenstein's creation he should be his Adam, but for no act of evil or moral reason Frankenstein as his creator, his God, has turned him away like the Satan.

The creature, too, is reassured by the appearance of nature and of his surroundings, and they restored him to 'some degree of tranquillity', therefore making the link between Frankenstein and the creature and showing the reader that he is human, and can be calmed and influenced by his surroundings.

'The wretch saw me destroy the creature on whose future existence did he depend on for happiness, and, with a howl of despair and revenge, withdrew.'

Like God nature is sometimes hostile and frightening, for example the rain, wind or storms and as discussed above Shelley uses the power of the sublime, and therefore nature, to create atmosphere and mood. In contrast sometimes the sublime can be reassuring and comforting. During the Romantic Movement the sublime was associated with the God and the point that it is sometimes intimidating and sometimes reassuring shows that the creator - God -'s responsibilities are to keep the human race from performing evil, and possibly trying to become the creator, as nothing can ever be completely perfect. Shelley uses the effect of the sublime and nature especially for the character Frankenstein who is often deeply affected and calmed by the influence of nature and the sublime, and this is a very strong idea and belief of the Romantic Movement.
