Rime of ancient mariner

Summary
Three young men are walking together to a wedding, when one of them is detained by a
grizzled old sailor. The young Wedding-Guest angrily demands that the Mariner let go of
him, and the Mariner obeys. But the young man is transfixed by the ancient Mariners
glittering eye and can do nothing but sit on a stone and listen to his strange tale. The
Mariner says that he sailed on a ship out of his native harborbelow the kirk, below
the hill, / Below the lighthouse topand into a sunny and cheerful sea. Hearing
bassoon music drifting from the direction of the wedding, the Wedding-Guest imagines
that the bride has entered the hall, but he is still helpless to tear himself from the
Mariners story. The Mariner recalls that the voyage quickly darkened, as a giant storm
rose up in the sea and chased the ship southward. Quickly, the ship came to a frigid
land of mist and snow, where ice, mast-high, came floating by; the ship was hemmed
inside this maze of ice. But then the sailors encountered an Albatross, a great sea bird.
As it flew around the ship, the ice cracked and split, and a wind from the south propelled
the ship out of the frigid regions, into a foggy stretch of water. The Albatross followed
behind it, a symbol of good luck to the sailors. A pained look crosses the Mariners face,
and the Wedding-Guest asks him, Why lookst thou so? The Mariner confesses that
he shot and killed the Albatross with his crossbow.
At first, the other sailors were furious with the Mariner for having killed the bird that
made the breezes blow. But when the fog lifted soon afterward, the sailors decided that
the bird had actually brought not the breezes but the fog; they now congratulated the
Mariner on his deed. The wind pushed the ship into a silent sea where the sailors were
quickly stranded; the winds died down, and the ship was As idle as a painted ship /
Upon a painted ocean. The ocean thickened, and the men had no water to drink; as if
the sea were rotting, slimy creatures crawled out of it and walked across the surface. At
night, the water burned green, blue, and white with death fire. Some of the sailors
dreamed that a spirit, nine fathoms deep, followed them beneath the ship from the land
of mist and snow. The sailors blamed the Mariner for their plight and hung the corpse of
the Albatross around his neck like a cross.

A weary time passed; the sailors became so parched, their mouths so dry, that they
were unable to speak. But one day, gazing westward, the Mariner saw a tiny speck on
the horizon. It resolved into a ship, moving toward them. Too dry-mouthed to speak out
and inform the other sailors, the Mariner bit down on his arm; sucking the blood, he was
able to moisten his tongue enough to cry out, A sail! a sail! The sailors smiled,
believing they were saved. But as the ship neared, they saw that it was a ghostly,
skeletal hull of a ship and that its crew included two figures: Death and the Night-mare
Life-in-Death, who takes the form of a pale woman with golden locks and red lips, and
thicks mans blood with cold. Death and Life-in-Death began to throw dice, and the
woman won, whereupon she whistled three times, causing the sun to sink to the
horizon, the stars to instantly emerge. As the moon rose, chased by a single star, the
sailors dropped dead one by oneall except the Mariner, whom each sailor cursed
with his eye before dying. The souls of the dead men leapt from their bodies and
rushed by the Mariner.
The Wedding-Guest declares that he fears the Mariner, with his glittering eye and his
skinny hand. The Mariner reassures the Wedding-Guest that there is no need for dread;
he was not among the men who died, and he is a living man, not a ghost. Alone on the
ship, surrounded by two hundred corpses, the Mariner was surrounded by the slimy sea
and the slimy creatures that crawled across its surface. He tried to pray but was
deterred by a wicked whisper that made his heart as dry as dust. He closed his eyes,
unable to bear the sight of the dead men, each of who glared at him with the malice of
their final curse. For seven days and seven nights the Mariner endured the sight, and
yet he was unable to die. At last the moon rose, casting the great shadow of the ship
across the waters; where the ships shadow touched the waters, they burned red. The
great water snakes moved through the silvery moonlight, glittering; blue, green, and
black, the snakes coiled and swam and became beautiful in the Mariners eyes. He
blessed the beautiful creatures in his heart; at that moment, he found himself able to
pray, and the corpse of the Albatross fell from his neck, sinking like lead into the sea.
Form

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is written in loose, short ballad stanzas usually either
four or six lines long but, occasionally, as many as nine lines long. The meter is also
somewhat loose, but odd lines are generally tetrameter, while even lines are generally
trimeter. (There are exceptions: In a five-line stanza, for instance, lines one, three, and
four are likely to have four accented syllablestetrameterwhile lines two and five
have three accented syllables.) The rhymes generally alternate in an ABAB or ABABAB
scheme, though again there are many exceptions; the nine-line stanza in Part III, for
instance, rhymes AABCCBDDB. Many stanzas include couplets in this wayfive-line
stanzas, for example, are rhymed ABCCB, often with an internal rhyme in the first line,
or ABAAB, without the internal rhyme.
Commentary
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is unique among Coleridges important works
unique in its intentionally archaic language (Eftsoons his hand drops he), its length, its
bizarre moral narrative, its strange scholarly notes printed in small type in the margins,
its thematic ambiguity, and the long Latin epigraph that begins it, concerning the
multitude of unclassifiable invisible creatures that inhabit the world. Its peculiarities
make it quite atypical of its era; it has little in common with other Romantic works.
Rather, the scholarly notes, the epigraph, and the archaic language combine to produce
the impression (intended by Coleridge, no doubt) that the Rime is a ballad of ancient
times (like Sir Patrick Spence, which appears in Dejection: An Ode), reprinted with
explanatory notes for a new audience.
But the explanatory notes complicate, rather than clarify, the poem as a whole; while
there are times that they explain some unarticulated action, there are also times that
they interpret the material of the poem in a way that seems at odds with, or irrelevant to,
the poem itself. For instance, in Part II, we find a note regarding the spirit that followed
the ship nine fathoms deep: one of the invisible inhabitants of this planet, neither
departed souls nor angels; concerning whom the learned Jew, Josephus, and the
Platonic Constantinopolitan, Michael Psellus, may be consulted. What might Coleridge

mean by introducing such figures as the Platonic Constantinopolitan, Michael Psellus,

into the poem, as marginalia, and by implying that the verse itself should be interpreted
through him?
This is a question that has puzzled scholars since the first publication of the poem in
this form. (Interestingly, the original version of the Rime, in the 1 79 7 edition of Lyrical
Ballads, did not include the side notes.) There is certainly an element of humor in
Coleridges scholarly glossesa bit of parody aimed at the writers of serious glosses of
this type; such phrases as Platonic Constantinopolitan seem consciously silly. It can
be argued that the glosses are simply an amusing irrelevancy designed to make the
poem seem archaic and that the truly important text is the poem itselfin its
complicated, often Christian symbolism, in its moral lesson (that all creatures great and
small were created by God and should be loved, from the Albatross to the slimy snakes
in the rotting ocean) and in its characters.
If one accepts this argument, one is faced with the task of discovering the key to
Coleridges symbolism: what does the Albatross represent, what do the spirits
represent, and so forth. Critics have made many ingenious attempts to do just that and
have found in the Rime a number of interesting readings, ranging from Christian
parable to political allegory. But these interpretations are dampened by the fact that
none of them (with the possible exception of the Christian reading, much of which is
certainly intended by the poem) seems essential to the story itself. One can accept
these interpretations of the poem only if one disregards the glosses almost completely.
A more interesting, though still questionable, reading of the poem maintains that
Coleridge intended it as a commentary on the ways in which people interpret the
lessons of the past and the ways in which the past is, to a large extent, simply
unknowable. By filling his archaic ballad with elaborate symbolism that cannot be
deciphered in any single, definitive way and then framing that symbolism with side notes
that pick at it and offer a highly theoretical spiritual-scientific interpretation of its
classifications, Coleridge creates tension between the ambiguous poem and the

unambiguous-but-ridiculous notes, exposing a gulf between the old poem and the
new attempt to understand it. The message would be that, though certain moral
lessons from the past are still comprehensiblehe liveth best who loveth best is not
hard to understand other aspects of its narratives are less easily grasped.
In any event, this first segment of the poem takes the Mariner through the worst of his
trials and shows, in action, the lesson that will be explicitly articulated in the second
segment. The Mariner kills the Albatross in bad faith, subjecting himself to the hostility
of the forces that govern the universe (the very un-Christian-seeming spirit beneath the
sea and the horrible Life-in-Death). It is unclear how these forces are meant to relate to
one anotherwhether the Life-in-Death is in league with the submerged spirit or
whether their simultaneous appearance is simply a coincidence.
After earning his curse, the Mariner is able to gain access to the favor of Godable to
regain his ability to prayonly by realizing that the monsters around him are beautiful in
Gods eyes and that he should love them as he should have loved the Albatross. In the
final three books of the poem, the Mariners encounter with a Hermit will spell out this
message explicitly, and the reader will learn why the Mariner has stopped the WeddingGuest to tell him this story.

The main idea of this poem is a moral message, warning against thoughtless and
foolhardy actions such as the one the Mariner performs in shooting the albatross. The
albatross had done the Mariner no harm at all; in fact it seems it had helped to guide his
ship, so that his wanton killing of it appears even more inexcusable.
The poem shows the terrible consequences of such a foolish and cruel act, when the
Mariner loses his crew and finds himself alone and doomed to wander the earth, telling

people like the young Wedding Guest his woeful story and warning them to always think
before they act.
A subsidiary theme of the poem is that one should respect nature and all living things.
The Mariner never gives any reason for shooting the albatross;it seems as if he does so
simply because he has the power to do so. However, the swift vengeance that follows
shows how wrong it is to break mans communion with nature in this fashion. The
Mariner sums up this lesson as follows:
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all. (614-617)
This quote takes on a distinctly religious aspect, directly referring to God and conjuring
up a picture of a joyful, harmonious world of universal love. The Mariner has suffered
grievously in going against this ideal and serves as a living example of folly.
The central message of the poem, then, is quite a simple one, but it is dressed up in the
memorable guise of a vivid supernatural tale which has helped to ensure its popularity
to this day.

Introduction
What are the central themes in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"? On a superficial
level, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" can be read as an epic journey of horror in
which a mariner is met by supernatural forces after he killed an albatross. But, the poem
is much more than that. The supernatural parts of the poem are connected with nature
and Christianity. The overall theme of the story is that everything in the natural world
has an immense amount of beauty and us human beings must recognize and respect
these qualities. The plot of the poem starts from the one single impulsive act of the

ancient mariner and then leads onto the consequences of it as the poem matures and
ends. ...read more.
Middle
"Water, water, everywhere,/ and all the boards did shrink,/ water, water, everywhere/
and not a drop to drink." It is in this setting that the mariner suffers his punishments.
There are several themes in the poem, and several secondary themes relating to the
supernatural and Christianity, but the most important would have to be the
consequences of a single unthinking act. The mariner kills the pious bird, he does this
impulsive act casually and without cause. But as you read on the poem, it is found that
you cannot destroy something without creating something new. The seeds of
destruction and the seeds of creation are linked and so, the loss of the mariner's crew,
his former self and ship, ultimately leads to the regeneration of the new mariner. ...read

Conclusion
At this point of the poem, strong Christian themes are also present. It is here that
connections are made between suffering, repentance, redemption and penance. These
elements combine to add a religious overtone and this symbolism last throughout the
poem. Coleridge is portraying the ancient mariner as human beings in general and the
albatross as all of god's creatures inhabiting nature. The poem shows the mariner
developing into a compassionate human being that appreciates his surroundings and do
not take it for granted. The moral of the poem is shown in the last words of the mariner:
"He prayeth best, who loveth best/ All things great and small/ For the dear god who
loveth us/ He made and loveth all." The poem shows that human relationship with
nature should not be destructive, but rather we should all live in harmony.

Three guys are on the way to a wedding celebration when an old sailor (the Mariner)
stops one of them at the door (we'll call him the Wedding Guest). Using his hypnotic
eyes to hold the attention of the Wedding Guest, he starts telling a story about a
disastrous journey he took. The Wedding Guest really wants to go party, but he can't
pry himself away from this grizzled old mariner. The Mariner begins his story. They left
port, and the ship sailed down near Antarctica to get away from a bad storm, but then
they get caught in a dangerous, foggy ice field. An albatross shows up to steer them
through the fog and provide good winds, but then the Mariner decides to shoot it. Oops.

Pretty soon the sailors lose their wind, and it gets really hot. They run out of water, and
everyone blames the Mariner. The ship seems to be haunted by a bad spirit, and weird
stuff starts appearing, like slimy creatures that walk on the ocean. The Mariner's
crewmates decide to hang the dead albatross around his neck to remind him of his
error.
Everyone is literally dying of thirst. The Mariner sees another ship's sail at a distance.
He wants to yell out, but his mouth is too dry, so he sucks some of his own blood to
moisten his lips. He's like, "A ship! We're saved." Sadly, the ship is a ghost ship piloted
by two spirits, Death and Life-in-Death, who have to be the last people you'd want to
meet on a journey. Everyone on the Mariner's ship dies.
The wedding guest realizes, "Ah! You're a ghost!" But the Mariner says, "Well, actually, I
was the only one who didn't die." He continues his story: he's on a boat with a lot of
dead bodies, surrounded by an ocean full of slimy things. Worse, these slimy things are
nasty water snakes. But the Mariner escapes his curse by unconsciously blessing the
hideous snakes, and the albatross drops off his neck into the ocean.
The Mariner falls into a sweet sleep, and it finally rains when he wakes up. A storm
strikes up in the distance, and all the dead sailors rise like zombies to pilot the ship. The
sailors don't actually come back to life. Instead, angels fill their bodies, and another
supernatural spirit under the ocean seems to push the boat. The Mariner faints and
hears two voices talking about how he killed the albatross and still has more penance to
do. These two mysterious voices explain how the ship is moving.
After a speedy journey, the ship ends up back in port again. The Mariner sees angels
standing next to the bodies of all his crewmates. Then a rescue boat shows up to take
him back to shore. The Mariner is happy that a guy called "the hermit" is on the rescue
boat. The hermit is in a good mood. All of a sudden there's a loud noise, and the
Mariner's ship sinks. The hermit's boat picks up the Mariner.
When they get on shore, the Mariner is desperate to tell his story to the hermit. He feels
a terrible pain until the story had been told.
In fact, the Mariner says that he still has the same painful need to tell his story, which is
why he stopped the Wedding Guest on this occasion. Wrapping up, the Mariner tells the
Wedding Guest that he needs to learn how to say his prayers and love other people and
things. Then the Mariner leaves, and the Wedding Guest no longer wants to enter the
wedding. He goes home and wakes up the next day, as the famous last lines go, "a
sadder and a wiser man."

One of the themes in Rime of the Ancient Mariner is Sin and Redemption. After the Mariner
commits the sin of shooting the Albatross, guilt begins to manifest in all kinds of super natural
forms. The Albatross is a representative of nature, but means nothing to the Mariner. Nature
quickly changes and began punishing him for killing the symbol of nature. He is then penalized
by the rays of the sun and mocked by the sight of water that he could not drink.
Afterward the Mariner begins realizing what the beauty of nature really means to him. At this
point he has a change of heart and repents his wrong doing. The mariner begins to find his
salvation when he starts to see the slimy things as creatures of strange beauty. He now
understands the Albatross is a symbol of nature and he realizes what he had done wrong. The
bird, which is hung around his neck as a punishment, falls into the water and makes the change
from punishment to penance.
Two super natural figure shows up, one is Life in Death and the other is Death. They both
gamble for his life and Life in Death ends up winning the Mariner. He now must live life in death
and endure his penance for the rest of his life and seek out certain people to tell his tale
because his soul tortures him until he delivers the message. Another theme in this poem is
respect for nature. All Romantic poets including Coleridge worship nature and the beauty of the
natural world. Everyone should respect all of Gods creation as well as the Albatross and the sea
snake.
The Mariner is an actual symbolic representation of Adam. The Ancient Mariner slaying of the
Albatross is equal to Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. This
story takes on elements from the stories of Adam and Eve and crucifixion of Christ.
The moon and sun plays an important symbol in this story. The sun represents Gods influence
of wrathful power but the moon has a more positive association than the sun. Generally
troubling outcome happens to the Mariner during the day while more favorable result happens
by moon light. For example, the mariners curse lifts and he returns home by moonlight.
