The Ancient Mariner,on his journey kills the albatross which leads the ship to the right route. In a way, he goes against nature and disrespectful towards it. Hence, he is doomed to tell his tale over and over. There is a parallelism between Ancient Mariner,Walton and Victor Frankenstein. Walton is also disrespectful to nature insisting that his ship stay stuck in the polar ice because of his "great purpose" to reach to North Pole. Frankenstein , by making a mockery of what God did, creates "the monster" and tells his tale to Walton. We can interpret that the quest for knowledge and glory, and defying God & Nature are the things that links these 3 characters to one another.

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.


Is the rime of mariner how to Frankenstein?

Frankenstein is addicted to knowledge in his younger years leading to his creation. The mariner is cursed by knowledge because he must enlighten people on his desolate tale such as the wedding guest. This brings up the Prometheus factor because they both went past the bounds that humans should go....Victor with the creature and the Mariner with killing the albatross.


What do sailors believe about the albatross?

Who is Robert Walton and why is he writing to his sister?

He is lonely and is very close with his sister. Walton's story is very similar to that of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, in that it is likely that he has also had some kind of falling out with his crew. The letters are also Mary Shelley's way of opening and closing the story in a way that makes sense. It is theorized that Robert Walton was also beginning to find himself driven a little bit mad, and thus his perspective of the story is possibly a little bit warped. Writing to his sister was likely a way to prevent his psyche from degenerating any more quickly.
