Question

Briefly explain the sailors attitude toward the killing of the albatross

Answer 1

sailors were at first cry out against the ancient Mariner for killing the bird of good luck.

But when the fog cleared off, they justify the same, and thus make themselves accomplices in the crime.

later, when the ship was stuck in the calm sea, the sailors again started blaming the ancient mariner for having killed the albatross which brought the wind and they hanged the albatross' dead body around his neck.
