The concept of the monster/supernatural has been a prevalent theme in literature throughout history. As we have studied various works from different time periods this year, it is interesting to see how this idea has evolved over time. In this research paper, we will explore how the idea of the monster/supernatural has evolved in the works of William Blake, Wordsworth, Coolridge, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, John Keats, Jane Austen, and Mary Shelley.
One of the earliest works we studied this year was William Blake's poems "The Tyger," "The Lamb," and "The Chimney Sweeper." These poems explore the contrast between good and evil, innocence and experience. Blake uses the image of the tiger to represent a powerful and fearsome creature, while the lamb symbolizes innocence and purity. The idea of the monster/supernatural in these poems is tied to the duality of human nature and the existence of evil in the world.
Moving into the Romantic period, we analyzed the works of Wordsworth and Coolridge. Wordsworth's sonnet "The World is Too Much with Us" reflects a disillusionment with society and a longing for a connection to nature. Coolridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan" delve into supernatural elements and explore the consequences of disrupting the natural order.
Lord Byron's poem "For Music" and his exploration of stanza and meter showcase his innovative approach to poetry and his interest in the supernatural. Percy Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" and "To a Skylark" also incorporate themes of nature and the supernatural, with the wind and the skylark serving as symbols of inspiration and freedom.
John Keats, known for his odes, presents the supernatural in a more mystical and aesthetic way in poems like "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer" and "Ode on a Grecian Urn." These works reflect Keats' fascination with beauty and the transcendental.
Finally, in the novels of Jane Austen and Mary Shelley, we see the idea of the monster/supernatural taking on new forms. Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" explores social monsters and the constraints of society, while Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" presents a literal monster created by science and ambition.
Through analyzing these works and the evolution of the idea of the monster/supernatural, we can see how different authors have approached this theme in their own unique ways. Whether it be through exploring the duality of human nature, the power of nature, or the consequences of scientific advancement, the concept of the monster/supernatural continues to captivate and intrigue readers across time periods.
