Mary Shelley was influenced by "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" for a few reasons. These include both books involving alienation, both being about existentialism, and Shelley being friends with the author Coleridge.

Who is Ancient Mariner in Frankenstein?

In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," the Ancient Mariner is not a character but a reference to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." The poem serves as an allegorical backdrop that parallels Victor Frankenstein's own journey and the themes of guilt, isolation, and the consequences of transgression. Just as the Ancient Mariner recounts his haunting tale of suffering and remorse, Victor shares his tragic story, highlighting the dangerous pursuit of knowledge and the resulting alienation. This intertextual reference enriches the exploration of human experience and moral responsibility in Shelley's narrative.
