Allusion

"Remember, that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed." - pg. 69

This allusion to Adam from the creation story in the Bible would usually not be a big deal; however, it's being alluded to by a 2 year old creature who was not born, but created. The creature knows who Adam is and how he relates to human beings. This shows that he's educated on worldly things, not just the basic things he taught himself. This knowledge of ancient stories shows the human side of the creature. He has feelings, emotions, and is able to learn and retain information. For the first time, the creature is more than just an oversized, scary version of a deformed human being. Even the creature himself was scared of his own reflection. I'm predicting that the creature isn't dangerous, it's just trying to figure out how to properly live life when everyone around is terrified of you. I hope by the end of the story it has a name, or I'll be upset. It's not an inanimate object!
