The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

In the poem we can notice that there is a story within the other. First, the mariner is talking to the wedding guests. Second, the narrator tells us the scene of the wedding. The mariner is one of the guests, he is a very old man who chose another guest to narrate his story. The guest was scared when the mariner held his hand, and he was wandering, why did the mariner choose him.

The second stanza represents the details of the wedding, but in the third stanza the man started to narrate his story. The mariner had the ability to hold the guests with his glittering eyes. He starts describing that the ship was going to the south and the weather was good. At this point the poet interrupts the narration giving us information of the wedding party; this will happen every now and then. The mariner completes his story, there is a storm, snow and mist, and he has to face a difficult situation. At the moment, Coleridge gave expressing words reflecting the sound of the snow. The ice was all around and suddenly a nice bird came out of the mist, this bird was considered a good omen. After giving the bird food and following it, the bird was killed.

It also pins down the mariner’s story to the real. In order to do so, he divides the line into two parts and sometimes three, he also uses the iambic metre, alliteration, and the natural presence as the sun and the moon. It may not be realistic but it has a constant logic of its own. The knowledge acquired by the mariner is the realization of the unity of life in all its forms, animal, human, and natural forms. The punishment is to be banished from the grace of the human and the natural world. The mariner had a cross round his neck, but after the action of killing, a substitution took place, and the Albatros took its place around the mariner’s neck instead of the cross. The need to tell a story becomes a physical need, a need to communicate with others. He is also punished by being lonely because h!

is two-hundred mates died on board of the ship. The killing of the Albatross is a crime against nature.
