The monster begins to question his creation similar to the part in Paradise Lost when Adam begins to reveal himself demonstrating the rage being built inside the monster. "Why did I live? Why...did I not extinguish to spark of existence" in the book Frankenstein is directly parallel to that of Adam's dismissal of being created in the poem. It becomes clear to the reader that both characters presented in each story are at ties with themselves making them see certain things more clearly. This is suggesting an epiphany moment. In the monster's case, rage is the result of finding the answer to his creation.
Through the questioning of one's self in both pieces, one could understand the deep regret and the want to be everything their creator wants them to be. In the monster's case, acceptance and love is inevitable, but desired demonstrating Maslow's theory to thrive in the world. This suggest that the monster turns into an actual monster due to the lack of acceptance and care needed by people and his creator needed to keep one's sanity.
