In the novel Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, we see a rare, but evident, use of providence within the story. The article “Invisible Hand”: Patlock, Milton and the Critique of Providence in Frankenstein was written by DS Neff, of the University of Alabama. The article compares the character of Frankenstein, the creature, with the main character of Patlock's book, Peter Wilkins. The article also highlights the use of providence and "invisible hands", its links to Milton's Paradise Lost and how they are all connected to each other. The article shows a comparison between Frankenstein and Robert Patlock's character, Peter Wilkins, and the concept of the invisible hand of providence from the poem Paradise Lost. Percy Shelly, the husband of the author of Frankenstein, was the first to read Robert Patlock's novel and later shared it with Mary, who began writing her own novel shortly thereafter. The first appearance of the term “invisible hand” comes from Percy's addition to Mary's draft of the novel. However the idea may have come from Milton's poem Paradise Lost or Peter Wilkins' story. They use the invisible hand to describe how the wood, always replenished by the creatures, was seen by the De Lacy family. It is not known who the second mention of the term came from or why. However the authors feel about it, both Mary and Percy thought that the use of the term to describe the creature was important enough to use it more than once. In the novel Frankenstein, the creature also has the opportunity to read Paradise Lost, the origin of the idea of ​​invisible hands. The article also notes the “striking parallels” between the character, Peter Wilkins, from Milton's novel, and the Creature. Some of these similarities include parental neglect... at the center of the card...ture does not rely on providence to guide him in his life, as he makes no mention of it. She blames Victor Frankenstein for her problems but at the same time doesn't even believe that Frankenstein should be the guide of her life. The ideas described in the article have adequate evidence, but other facts in the novel have been overlooked. The author overemphasizes the idea of ​​providence in this novel and overemphasizes the times in which it appeared. Peter Wilkins and the Creature had very similar lives, and perhaps that's where the character of the Creatures comes from, but they weren't aligned in terms of providence. The Creature also read Paradise Lost and may have clearly understood the idea of ​​providence, however he knew he was different from the rest of humans. Therefore, why would he live his life through a god he had no connection with??
