Due: Monday, May 2nd

1. For Monday, please read Part I and II of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" 
"Rime of the Ancient Mariner"- Coleridge

In letter 1 he refers to Homer and Shakespeare, in letter 2 Walton refers to Coleridge’s "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". What is the relevance of these references? What do they reveal about Walton? What do you feel is the relevance to the overall Frankenstein text? 

Take notes on your findings. Remember: Allusions will be a focus of the final. Spend some time looking at the influence of these allusions. 

2. Examine the characteristics of the Romantic Period. Look for evidence of these characteristics in Frankenstein. This will be the second focus of the final.
