I am Frankenstein’s Spleen

The only imaginary being, resembling in any degree Prometheus, is Satan; and Prometheus is, in my judgment, a more poetical character than Satan, because, in addition to courage, and majesty, and firm and patient opposition to omnipotent force, he is susceptible of being described as exempt from the taints of ambition, envy, revenge, and a desire for personal aggrandizement … Prometheus is, as it were, the type of the highest perfection of moral and intellectual nature impelled by the purest and the truest motives to the best and noblest ends.”—Percy Shelley

Prometheus was a friggin’ pansy. I took his truest motives and shoved them up his noblest end.”—Satan

PS — Fuck you. I’m not imaginary.”—Satan

I mean, really, the guy’s name is Percy? Seriously.”—Satan
