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.
