Unlock the more straightforward side of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, which follows the eponymous mariner's narration of his preternatural experiences on a ship passing through the Antarctic. After he shoots and kills an albatross, which was seen as a sign of good fortune by the rest of his crew, the other sailors turn on him; their ship then encounters two spectral figures called Death and Life-in-Death, who claim the lives of all those on board except the mariner himself, who is left alive to wallow in his guilt. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is one of the longest works written by the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and was originally published in Lyrical Ballads, a collection of poetry published jointly by Coleridge and his friend William Wordsworth, another leading figure of English Romanticism.Find out everything you need to know about The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in a fraction of the time!
