What book does the monster say introduced him to idea of men as both powerful and virtuous in Frankenstein?

The monster in Mary Shelley's *Frankenstein* says that "Paradise Lost" by John Milton introduced him to the idea of men as both powerful and virtuous. He reads this book while living in a dilapidated hovel and learns about Adam and Eve, their fall from grace, and the complex nature of human beings.

Here's a quote from the novel where the monster describes this:

> "I felt myself destined for some great enterprise. My feelings were profound, but I possessed a coolness of judgment that fitted me for illustrious achievements. I tried in vain to be persuaded that I was different from other men. I felt myself destined for some great enterprise. My feelings were profound, but I possessed a coolness of judgment that fitted me for illustrious achievements. I read and re-read Paradise Lost till I could almost repeat it by memory. That book formed my character.**"
