The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner

To begin with, the author shows he is very caring, respecting about nature. “The Rime Of the Ancient Mariner” was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and published in 1798. The story starts off with an intriguing scene, the Mariner is telling a story to a man whom he sees from a distance. The story he tells includes supernatural events and natural phenomenons. Throughout the whole story the author emphasises on the Christian religion and the Bible. But seeing this from the christian aspect of life I believe the Mariner was possessed by a spirit or satan himself in order to be able to control the wedding guest.
Next, the old man hold the wedding guest and the author describes is as, “he holds him with his glittering eye” referring to the Mariner
For example most christian catholics use it when they are praying they hold it in their hands and believe it brings them one step closer to god and helps clear their sins. As we can see the Mariner had committed a major sin by killing one of God's creation which was the Albatross that was like a companion the the Mariner and his crew when they felt most sad and alone in the middle of nowhere. Now for the penance of the mariner as we can see he had to go around warning people of the drastic consequences that could happen when one commits the sin of killing one of God’s harmless creations. But the Mariner couldn’t just go around telling anyone of his story certain people who were in the same path as him of committing the sin and get punished for it he had to warn them about it and try to keep them from it. The mariner I believe had to relieve his story every time he told it and was given supernatural powers in a way even if they weren’t holy so it could help him warn the people. Most Christian people would believe this to be a major punishment for both the Mariner and the wedding Guest but really how bad is it for another person to share with you his/her life experiences and keep you
Then I believe he started to feel so desperate he preferred to end his life instead of keep living in such agony as we can see in lines thirty-four and thirty-five “And never a saint took pity on, My soul in agony.” Which in most branches of Christianity is a major, major sin which you can not be forgiven for since taking your own life is just like giving up on God. Myself being christian I believe it is wrong since you as a person might feel you're giving it your all but you have to let it all in God’s hands. But a lot of people might argue against it since they think why keep holding on to this life since it’s only temporary and if you’re in such an agony why keep fighting to just keep suffering. “Water, Water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink” I think at this point the Mariner felt like so much of what I need to keep living but what good is it had been ruined by the salt and all it’s gonna do is kill me faster. “ O happy, living things! No tongue Their beauty might declare A spring of love gushed from my heart, And I blessed them unaware: Sure my kind saint took pity on me, And I blessed them unaware The selfsame moment I could pray: And from my
