Through the use of strong imagery‚ Coleridge produces a paradise like vision of a rich landscape‚ which is surrounded by a dome built by the main character named for the title‚ Kublah Khan.

Rhyming of a Rime (Three messages provided out of the reading‚ Rime of the Ancient Mariner‚ by Samuel Coleridge.) Imagine doing a deed so terrible that the rest of your life was determined by that one singular moment. Most people would imagine the initial moment to be like killing someone‚ destroying lives‚ or something of that scenarios.

It is on record that Coleridge himself was intensely aware that this may be considered a weakness in the poem by some readers. When Mrs. Barbauld told him that she found two faults in the Ancient Mariner‚ that it was improbable and that it had no moral‚ Coleridge replied that the probability of the poem might admit of some questions‚ but regarding the moral‚ he thought there was too much of

poetry of Wordsworth is best characterised by its strong affinity with natureand in particular the Lake District where he lived. The early nineteenth century was a time of rapid change and industrialisation‚ but like his contemporaries‚ Blakeand Coleridge‚ Wordsworth was often dismayed by what he saw and he sought solace in the grandeur and beauty of nature. Wordsworth offered not just a beautiful picture of nature but also illustrated the healing power of natureon the spirit of man. William

This parallels the prayers sent by friends and family after a loved ones passing. Upon reflecting on his actions‚ he expresses remorse for the “hellish thing” he did when he “killed the bird that made the breeze to blow” (Coleridge 91-94). The act seems to have damned the sailor to hellish existence‚ and he morbidly reflects on his actions like a penitent in
