Answers
It is true that Samuel Taylor Coleridge develops the Christian theme of sin, revenge and repentance in the poem Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Let’s see how:
Sin: The ancient mariner killed the albatross for no reason.
Revenge: Providence punished the crew of the ancient mariner for their sin.
Repentance: The ancient mariner repented his mistake; so he was saved by heavenly powers.
The poem The Rime of Ancient Mariner written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge highlights the themes of sin and repentance by drawing a clear line between them.
Mariner’s act of killing the innocent albatross drives him to the road of sin.
The intrusion of nature signifies the theme of revenge and justice to let the mariner undergo a set of sufferings.
Through a series of suffering events, he achieves self realization which paves the way to repentance.
