Themes are important in every story. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has so many different themes that conflict with each other. One is the appreciation of nature and the other is the condemnation of nature. To compare the admiration that each speaker has for the relationship with nature, a connection can be made with the poem "Lines Composed A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" by Williamworth. Looking at the condemnation of nature, a comparison can be made with “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Shelley's Victor Frankenstein evokes characteristics of both Worth and the Ancient Mariner in the ways he reacts to nature. Shelley's admiration for nature, which is directly linked to Worth's “Tintern Abbey,” is clearly illustrated when Dr. Frankenstein takes his peaceful walk through the woods. When Shelley recites a passage from “Tintern Abbey,” she embodies the emotions that were once illustrated by Worth all those years ago. It exposes the emotions that rage in Victor as he takes his walk, these emotions are also prevalent in "Tintern Abbey" as he revisits this beloved show. In these works nature takes on the role of repairing agent. Both speakers are overwhelmed by the sense of placidity that nature instills in them; Worth returns to pass on his love of the Abbey to his sister Dorothy, while Victor visits nature to find peace after the deaths of his brother William, his best friend, Clerval, and the family servant, Justine. “The healthy cataract persecuted him like a passion: the high rock, the mountain, and the deep, dark forest, their colors and their shapes, were then an appetite for him; a compensation......middle of paper......strengths Shelley takes Victor into nature to adhere to the peace sought after the death of his loved ones. To symbolize his weaknesses he exemplifies his lust for knowledge which leads to the creation of the monster, his personal condemnation of the natural world. Each story throws a new light on the idea of ​​man; how a man can be affected by his decisions and how those decisions affect the world around him. Works Cited Coleridge, Samuel Taylor.
