Paradise Lost

🎲

Epic poem by John Milton that appears in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as one of the books the creature reads, but is barely mentioned in del Toro's film adaptation.

"I expected Paradise Lost with Barbie as Adam and Ken as Eve. I expected Kens doing a Lord of the Flies thing. I'm not stupid or pretentious for expecting these dark themes either since that's exactly what Greta teased."
Barbie the Movie? More like SNL the Movie · u/amireallyreal4 · ↑137 · 2023-07-24
"The books Mary chose the creature to read were PERFECT and were mentioned throughout the story. The stories also relate much better to the creature than Ozymandias. It was disappointing how little Paradise Lost was mentioned in the movie."

"This is much less of a commitment than Paradise Lost there are only four books so there will only be two discussions."
