Content and theme of Frankenstein rivaled The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Frankenstein by English writer Mary Shelley and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by English poet Samuel Coleridge share closely related themes respectively in their own literary worlds. Through both the novel and the poem, three themes recur in the eyes of Victor Frankenstein and the Sailor. Knowledge, Frankenstein is addicted to knowledge in younger activities. The Mariner is cursed to spread knowledge of his erased history of desolation through the wedding guest. Desolation, Frankenstein constantly torn by guilt wears himself out to the point of illness and disconnection from the life around him. The sailor on his solitary quest with his dead shipmates, left skewered by the torment of solitude. Nature plays a crucial role in both stories, as he travels the European countryside, the sailor has a predilection towards nature through the ideas of the albatross, the ocean, water serpents, all of which lead to an appreciation of nature. Knowledge, part of the three great themes observed, is important for anyone. You begin Frankenstein with learning Victor's lustful bearing for the adaptation of becoming expert in his obtained passions. First seen with an obsession with the natural world and the philosophy surrounding it. The knowledge constitutes his transformation from seeker to pioneer, as he discovers electricity and chemistry. In Rime of the Ancient Mariner through the Mariner, Coleridge places emphasis on the natural world and the spiritual, physical, and metaphysical world. To represent the awareness that the Albatross is a physical creature rather than a spiritual being. Limitability was used to dictate the difference in the story's setting. Coleridge uses the element of narrative... in the middle of the card... as the sailors are caught in a storm in the frost. The ice is as high as the mast and the captain cannot steer the ship through it. The mariner's imprisonment in a disorienting climate foreshadows the Ancient Mariner's subsequent imprisonment in a bewildered, limbo-like existence. At the beginning of the poem, the ship is a vehicle of adventure and the sailors set off in each other's happy company. However, once the Ancient Mariner shoots the Albatross, it quickly becomes a prison. Without wind to sail the ship, the sailors lose all control over their destiny. They are cut off from civilization, even though they have each other's company. They are further imprisoned by thirst, which silences them and effectively places them in isolation; they are denied the basic human ability to communicate. When the other sailors die, the ship becomes a private prison for the Ancient Mariner.
