 Since the publication of the novel, the name "Frankenstein" has often been used to refer to the monster itself.In the novel, Frankenstein's creation is identified by words such as "creature", "monster", "daemon", "wretch", "abortion", "fiend" and "it".Speaking to Victor Frankenstein, the monster says "I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel" (which ties to Lucifer in "Paradise Lost", which the monster reads, and which relates to the disobedience of Prometheus in the book's subtitle).
