Books that Influence "The Monster"

John Milton: Paradise Lost
Plutarch: Lives
Goethe: The Sorrows of Young Werther
C.F. Volney: Ruins of Empires
What are these books about?  What are the “big ideas?” How do these ideas influence the “monster?”  Compare what the “monster” says about the books (118-119 and 128-131) to what you discover. What is the relationship between these works and Frankenstein as a whole?
