"I am thy Adam..." I am Extremely confused with as to how the creature in any way knows about the Bible. I'm assuming that Shelleby put it in the novel because people of that time were very religious. However, where he came to find this knowledge puzzles me. Did he find out from the people in the cottage? Or did he steal it like he stole food? If he's able to quote the bible, then what other major works has he read? Speaking of religion, in class Lauren brought up the idea of a soul. Based on what I've read about him, I can only assume that he does in fact have one. His care for others makes me think he does. I just can't stand the idea of anyone or anything not having one, so I guess that's where my theory comes from as well.
