Rime of The Ancient Mariner Summary: A Quick Look at the Poem
The ancient Mariner stops one of the wedding-guests.
He basically feels like narrating his story to him and sharing his grief.
The Wedding-Guest does not have the time and is in a hurry as he has to attend the wedding party.
The bright-eyed Mariner makes the wedding guest weak.
He is left with no option but listen to his tale.
The old Mariner starts talking about his story.
Their ship had left the harbour happily.
There was a severe storm and it pushed them southwards.
Then the weather became very cold with both snow and mist.
The ship gets bordered by huge icebergs that are as high as the flagpole.
Then comes the albatross from the fog.
The sailors cheer it as a ‘Christian Soul’.
The albatross’s entry is considered auspicious as it brings a favourable south wind.
The sailors give food to it and it flies over the ship.
In an irrational fit, the ancient Mariner kills the albatross with his cross-bow.
The fellow mariners start cursing the old Mariner as he killed an innocent and auspicious bird.
The weather gets worse. The Mariners then change their opinion.
Now they think that the killing of the albatross was justified as it had brought mist and snow.
Sadness prevails all around.
The sun becomes too harsh and the ocean starts rotting.
The wind stops blowing and the sails get dropped down.
The ship gets stuck at one point and doesn’t move ahead.
It looks like someone has painted a ship on a painted ocean.
There is water around but the sailors don’t have a single drop of water to drink.
The sailors then see in their dreams that a spirit was cursing them.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner Summary
The poem ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ is written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and is very different from the works of many other romantic poets. The poem that was published in 1798 is based on a dream of Coleridge’s friend. It is written in a folk ballad style and is divided into seven parts. It has many scattering references to outdated beliefs and practices. It is also not only the mariner, who is ancient, but even his rhyme is old. There are many contradictory time elements and the poem hides its origins. The extensive use of archaic words makes it sound old.

Coleridge has intentionally used archaic language, ominous tones. Also, the ‘loony’ narrator is a stunning contrast to the lighter, pastoral works of Wordsworth and others. Mariner’s shabby yet charming appearance reminds the reader subtly through the constant focus on his ‘glittering eye’ and ‘long beard’, that he is a spokesman of nature. The mariner’s timelessness, in direct contrast to the death of all crew members, also suggests that the eternity of nature of which he has become symbolic. In the end, the mariner regrets his sins and this refers to a Christian message, although his killing of the albatross is a crime against nature. The poem concentrates on the power and vengeance of the natural world. Nevertheless, it focuses on the line, “I killed an albatross.” The moralistic content of the poem can be concluded in its message, “He prayeth best, who loveth best.”
