"It moved every feeling of wander and awe, that the picture of an omnipotent God warring with his creatures was capable of exciting. I often referred the several situations, as their similarity struck me, to my own." PAGE 92
The creature previously alluded to himself as the Adam to Victor. He returns to this biblical allusion. He views himself as Adam because he knows of the relationship between God and Adam. He sees how God cares for Adam because he created him. This makes him desire more from Victor than he is willing to give him. The creature believes he deserves more than Victor is giving him. The allusion is effective because most of the audience would be familiar with the story of Adam and Eve. This makes the relationship relatable as well as provides background for the creature's feelings. He would not come up with that desire on his own because he would not know any better. The biblical allusion provides support for his beliefs.
