Frankenstein 7

“…as exquisite and divine a retreat as Pandaemonium appeared to the deamons of hell…” (Shelley 110)

Pandaemonium is the capital of Hell in John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost, Pandaemonium has also been interpreted into “little spirit” or “little angel” or “all demon place”. The demons found Pandaemonium absolutely exquisite after spending many nights and days in the ‘lake of fire’; Shelley is comparing how the demons felt when they discovered Pandaemonium to how the monster felt when he discovered the little hut. He had spent many nights in the forest, sleeping on the cold, and wet ground, once he found this hut he was ecstatic because he was sheltered from the damp cold forest.
