Question

explain hardest situation faced by ancient mariener

Answer 1

At night, the dense water of the ocean glistened brightly in all possible shades and hues. Some of the sailors had a confirmed opinion that it was the curse of the slain innocent bird that had brought them from the land of mist and snow into the sea, nine fathoms deep. Every soul was thirsty, every tongue dry and parched, their throats were suffocated and none could utter a word. Amid all this, the accusing looks that the Mariner got from every eye added to the torment and torture. He was filled with so much guilt and shame that he almost felt the dead albatross hanging around his neck, a continuous reminder of his own wicked act, the burden of this guilt he had carried all his life.
