Literature Multiple Choice #2

The creature compares himself (enviously and unfavorably) to the biblical Adam, but never uses it as a name. When talking to Frankenstein, he makes three references:

First, "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."

Later, he says "Like Adam, I was created apparently united by no link to any other being in existence; but his state was far different from mine in every other respect. He had come forth from the hands of God a perfect creature, happy and prosperous, guarded by the especial care of his Creator; he was allowed to converse with, and acquire knowledge from beings of a superior nature: but I was wretched, helpless, and alone."

Finally, "But it was all a dream: no Eve soothed my sorrows, or shared my thoughts; I was alone. I remembered Adam’s supplication to his Creator; but where was mine? he had abandoned me, and, in the bitterness of my heart, I cursed him."

Yes, but it's difficult to find non-English language answers that would be commonly known among the Jetpunk audience and not repeat yourself too often.

Yes, Bulgakov was Ukrainian. These choices need to be changed to avoid confusion. Especially, now, I would think it important to make this distinction. Bulgakov was in fact a doctor, and worked as an army physician for the White Army when they were fighting against the Bolsheviks. His book The White Guard, which was banned in the Soviet Union, draws on many of his experiences whilst he was in the army. His book The Heart of a Dog, is a thinly veiled satire of the Soviet Union and the Russian revolution, and this was also banned in the Soviet Union.
