THE RIME OF ANCIENT MARINER



                                      THE RIME OF ANCIENT MARINER
We learnt ‘The Rime of Ancient Mariner’ in this week. This work was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in Romanticism Period.  Also, this story had a lot of supernatural facts but I really liked it and found amazing.
         The story started with wedding ceremony and continued other thing. I didn’t understand this and I found interesting. A Mariner travelled with ship in a sunny day. But suddenly, ship turned to southward due to strong stream and they came in South Pole. Ship couldn’t move anywhere because everywhere was frozen. Then sailors saw an Albatross bird and everybody believed that this bird bring good luck so mariner killed Albatross. After this, fog lifted and ice melted suddenly. Sun appeared but it was so hot like a desert. They thought that this bird brought a bad luck and they blamed each other.  Sailors killed and mariner lived alone for a long time but he didn’t kill. He saw a ship but he couldn’t shout because he was so thirsty. Finally one day, he saw the fish and see animals and he thanked to the God for this beauty after that he was forgiven and sailors arose from dead. Wind helped to him for travelling.
         This story is a good example for supernatural facts in a literal work in Romantic period. Also when we think that period, “The Rime of Ancient Mariner” is a unique work for not only English literature but also work literature.
