In Paradise Lost, Satan tries to overthrow God. In a way, Victor Frankenstein also tries to "overthrow God" by raising the dead. Like Satan, Victor is arrogant when he believes that the life he creates will be perfect and superior. Satan tries to overthrow God because it is in his rebellious and arrogant nature. Frankenstein's love of science is the only thing that motivates him to experiment. Victor and Satan are selfish and self-motivated and do not care about anyone.

The Mariner and Victor compare to each other when they realize their downfall. The Mariner would wander forever telling his story for killing the albatross, and Victor realizes his downfall when the monster kills everyone he loves. Also, a quote from Rime is directly quoted by Victor in Frankenstein, "Like one, on a loathsome road who,/ Doth walk on fear and dread,/ And, having once turned round, walks on,/ And turns no more his head;/ Because he knows a frightful fiend,/ Doth close behind him tread."

Both Herbert West and Victor Frankenstein try to "play God" as well by creating human life. Both characters are very engrossed in their studies and experiments. So much so that they do not take responsibility for actions throughout their stories. Victor tries to ignore his creation and Herbert West thinks only of what he did incorrect instead of caring of what his "failures" would do. Also both of their characters' creations fight back against their creators, and a laboratory is used in both settings.

The Creation of Man by Prometheus is a direct inspiration for Frankenstein. In fact, Frankenstein's second name is The Modern Prometheus. Prometheus was the wisest among the titans in J.M. Hunt's story. As well as in Frankenstein, Victor was very wise and the smartest among all the characters. Both characters tried to "play God" by Victor trying to bring back the dead and Prometheus bringing fire to a man after playing a trick to Zeus. The actions of both characters led them to an eternal punishment; constant fear and illness for Victor, and Prometheus having his liver eaten every day by an eagle.

Some may have been inspirations for writing the story and some were inspired by Frankenstein.
