The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner

Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness, Coppola’s film Apocalypse Now, Eliot’s poem The Hollow Men, and Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner all show a hollow or dark spot somewhere within every human heart. Heart of Darkness follows Marlow as he enters Africa in search of a man named Kurtz who had recently stopped shipping ivory to The Company. Apocalypse Now, a Vietnam war-based rendition of Heart of Darkness, follows Captain Willard on his way to assassinate Kurtz, a man who had turned on the US army with questionable methods. Rime of the Ancient Mariner tells the reader of a sin committed by the Mariner, and his prayer for renewal. The Hollow Men, on the other hand, depicts three stages of life for all humankind rather than following specific characters. The Hollow Men shows that human experiences can affect one's outlook on life and society, twisting it into something significantly darker than how it began. This idea can explain the outcome of the characters within Heart of Darkness, Apocalypse Now, and Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

The Christian belief is that no matter what you do wrong or to what extent, you are always able to be forgiven. As long as you are able to realize and admit to what you've done wrong and are willing to pay for your sins and repent, you will always be forgiven in the eyes of God. In "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the mariner is willing to repent. After committing his sins against nature, he comes to realize that it is not to be taken for granted. By realizing and expressing the beauty that nature is, the mariner is granted his forgiveness in return for penance; his telling of this story.

The poem, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a truly imaginative work utilizing the familiar yet timeless themes of good fortune, the power of Mother Nature, and adventurous voyages over the sea. The Mariner relates the bone-chilling tale of his adventure to a guest at a wedding in his native country. Although the guest succumbs to the Mariner’s tale, he is eager to get to the wedding, which is about to start. Coleridge chose this occasion for the poem as a form of irony, by providing a stark contrast between the two atmospheres and situations in his poem. The moods of weddings are usually joyful and jubilant, emphasizing love and the union between

Throughout Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and “The Rime of The Ancient Mariner” there are many instances where metacognitive thinking and knowledge are discussed and presented. The word metacognition comes from the root word "meta" which means beyond. The word metacognition can take many forms including knowledge and when or how to use certain strategies to learn or be used to solve problems. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein we see metacognitive thinking throughout mainly through victor and the creature. Both characters are seen very much throughout the story and through these characters we get a great sense of their metacognitive thinking, successfully in ways but for the main part we see these characters as failed metacognitive thinkers. In

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” details the story of a cursed mariner, framed in a conversation with a man on his way to a wedding. The Mariner’s tale truly begins when he thoughtlessly kills an albatross as his crew is sailing through the northern ice caps. Rising from Coleridge’s own experience, he ties in various themes exposing the reader to death, consequences of actions, and an interest in the unknown. By creating a clear connection between the physical and spiritual world, Coleridge shows his audience the consequences ones actions has, both good and bad, hoping to show people the importance of preserving and respecting the world that surrounds us.

There is a website on which one can upload a picture of themselves or someone they know and they will receive a Disney-fied version of the picture. Known specifically for its unrealistic portrayals of humans and society in their films, Disney is still considered the most influential film company in the world. Their films tend to lack substance and complex plot lines, yet their empire is globally renowned. From animated films, to theme parks, to live-action films, to action figures and universally known characters, Disney has established itself in the realm of media and product recognition. Throughout the years, their characters have become symbolic and easily identifiable across the globe. Parents cringe at the unrealistic expectations that Disney films present – the forerunner in the fairy tale with archetypical characters and a

(Part 1 stanza 20 Rime of the Ancient Mariner) In Christian religions, well most religions for that matter, pride is considered a sin or something to not be or do. This part of the story has a very strong tie to a very religious point. The albatross symbolizes God and the mariner “crucifies” God which brings the whole crew punishment. This is what leads the mariner to his long repentance and punishment.

The Rime of The Ancient Mariner is about a man, the Mariner, going from place to place telling his tale; how he comes to love and care for all things that God has graced with life through all his hardships at sea. His hardships and punishments only begin once the Mariner strikes down an albatross with his crossbow. From then on he is lost at sea with his lifeless crew as his only company. To a passer’s eye, his punishment seems a little harsh for killing a simple bird. However, it was not only a creature the Mariner had killed by his own hand, but everything it symbolized.

The poems’ histories will be kept brief as they are not the focus of the paper; so, put simply, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and was published in 1798 in a collaborative volume entitled Lyrical Ballads (“Samuel Taylor Coleridge”). For further historical context, it was during this year that the US Navy was originally formed (“Historical Events in 1798”). And while the origin of “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is pretty straightforward, that of “The Seafarer” is more complicated. Originally it was anonymously included in a tenth-century text called The Exeter Book (Shmoop Editorial Team), but the more well known version is its reinterpretation by Ezra Pound, published in 1912 (“The Seafarer: RPO”). However, since Pound changed many of the original details and themes (“The Seafarer: RPO”), we’re going to be looking at an English translation of the original poem. Again, for further historical context, it was during the tenth century that the Chinese started making paper money, the Byzantine empire underwent a revival, and the feudal knight was popularized (“10th century - Oxford Reference”). Despite both poems being published nearly 800 years apart, they share a great many similarities. So without further ado, let’s delve into the surface similarities between the two poems.

It is this admission of guilt that allows the process of forgiveness for the Mariner to begin. It also allows the Albatross to become a reminder of the Mariner's sin, a representation of Christ's suffering, and a symbol of the Christian cross. In lines 40 and 41 it says, "Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung."

Samuel Coleridge the writer of “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” has many messages to reveal in the text. The rime or poem has many different messages, one of which is that guilt is worn around our necks from things we know we’ve done to things we don’t know causes misery. Another message comes from sometimes life can be the biggest curse over death. Finally another message come from the bulk of the story, how all lives matter in the eyes of God and one shouldn’t be taken advantage of. There are three main messages in the story, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Coleridge; we hold guilt around our neck whether or not we know it, life can be a bigger curse then death, and all lives matter to God.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, as a product of its culturally inscribed author, presents a confused Unitarian world view consistent with that of the Romantic Movement of its time. It attempts to exemplify this view within an unpredictable and often mysterious universe, and by rebuking the hegemonic ideologies held by the text’s cultural antagonists, seeks to grant the awareness of an often unreasonable world populated by its reader’s passionate persona.
