Ancient Mariner Assessment In the two epic poems published by Samuel Taylor Coleridge‚ “Christabel” and “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”‚ share many comparisons.

The Ancient Mariner’s punishment for killing the albatross is fair. After killing the Albatross and committing a crime against nature‚ the Ancient Mariner is punished by the spiritual and natural world. The Ancient Mariner is now living in his nightmare as a reality and suffering each day for his wrong doing. Now that he has done wrong‚ he pays for it by being miserable and wiser. He is now telling his story‚ not because he has to‚ but because he wants everyone to know that he made a mistake that

How does Coleridge begin telling the story in Part 1? In the first line of this poem‚ we meet the protagonist‚ “The Ancient Mariner”‚ who manages to get hold of one of the guests to the wedding that he is attending in order to tell him the story of his journey on a “bright” and “cold” day. Against the will of the wedding guest‚ the Ancient Mariner spends the remainder of Part 1 describing his tale in detail; which eventually leads to the shooting of a magnificent and supposedly good omen of an

126 The Ocean-Desert: The Ancient Mariner and. The Waste Land FLORENCE MARSH WHEN Coleridge’s The Ancient Mariner and T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land are juxtaposed‚ the two poems become mutually illuminating. Nor is the juxtaposition arbitrary‚ since both are essentially religious poems concerned with salvation. In both‚ the protagonist needs to recover from a living death‚ from spiritual dryness. Structurally‚ The Waste Land has almost no narrative thread‚ no story‚ but it sounds motifs that

A Romantic Rime Romantic literature‚ such as The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Coleridge‚ involves the imagination. The story involves an old mariner who shares his tale with a wedding guest at a wedding procession. This poem is a framed tale since there is a story (of the mariner’s journey) within the actual story (mariner speaking to wedding guest).

Coleridge use to portray the Wedding Guest and The Ancient Mariner? In part one of The Ancient Mariner‚ Coleridge introduces us to two characters‚ The Ancient Mariner‚ the main protagonist‚ and the Wedding Guest. Through their name‚ appearance‚ dialogue and actions we can portray a lot about them. From the title alone‚ being eponymous‚ we can infer that the events of this story will happen to the Ancient Mariner. His name especially portrays the mariner as being something unique‚ Coleridge uses definite

The significance of the Albatross in "The Ancient Mariner" has been left open to examination by the reader. The symbolism of the Albatross in Coleridge’s poem is rather debatable. By looking at different interpretations‚ I will investigate whether Coleridge’s Albatross is significant or not. The ancient mariner represents Coleridge himself and the albatross represents the fight with himself to overcome his personal guilt. The mariner’s sufferings are an expression of Coleridge’s strong addiction
