The idea of the monster/supernatural has evolved throughout literature, as evidenced in works such as "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (Williams 2015) and Frankenstein (Shelley 1818). According to Coolidge (2019), this evolution can be seen in the changing portrayal of monsters and supernatural elements in different time periods. Lord Byron also explores the use of meter and stanzas in Romantic poetry, which can impact the depiction of the supernatural (Byron 2006). Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" also reflects the evolving relationship between nature and the supernatural (Wordsworth 2000).
