One thing that i never knew is that the frankenstein's monster didn't actually have a name. I think in part it is his detachedness of the human work, is why he has no name. another point could be that part of frankenstein's regetion of his creation and that could be part of the reason he did not give his creation a name. In the book i think around chapter ten when he addresses the creature as a "vile insect", abhorred monster", " a fiend" and an abhorred devil". In the book the writer referred to the creature as "Adam" this is just a referance to that of the first man in the book of the bible that was created by God in the garden of eden. she wrote in her epigraph:
Did I request thee, Maker from my clay
To mould Me man? Did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?
John Milton, Paradise Lost
