The idea of the monster/supernatural evolves throughout the time periods and works we've studied this year by exploring different aspects of human nature and society. In William Blake's poems "The Tyger" and "The Lamb," the supernatural is portrayed as both fearsome and gentle, reflecting the duality of human nature. Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan" delve into themes of guilt and redemption, using supernatural elements to convey moral lessons. Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" presents the monster as a symbol of societal fears and scientific advancement gone wrong. Finally, Wordsworth's "Sonnet: The World Is Too Much With Us" and "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" contemplate the supernatural in nature and its connection to human spirituality. Through these works, we see how the concept of the monster/supernatural evolves over time, reflecting changing perspectives on the human condition.
