Ancient Mariner 2

“Like one, on a lonesome road who… Doth close behind him tread” (Shelley, 36).

This quote is taken directly out of Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner, which was also alluded to early in the novel. This makes a connection between Victor Frankenstein and Robert Walton, along with adding weight to the text. It explains how alienated Victor already feels only moments after the creation of his monster.
