- A. His habitat is equivalent to the Garden of Eden.
- B. He is a mistake.
- C. He is the first of his kind.
- D. He is responsible for the burden of original sin.

Like Adam, the monster is the first created being of his kind, brought into existence without a predecessor. The comparison does not mean that he bears Christian original sin, since that doctrine is not directly applied to him.
