Question

Look at the picture carefully and answer the questions given below: Why does he have the bird hanging around his neck?

Answer 1

Answer:

He had the bird hanging around his neck because the other mariners on the ship held him responsible for their troubles. They believed the ancient mariner had caused the ship’s stranding by killing the albatross. So, in order to punish the ancient mariner for their assumed troubles, they hung the dead albatross around his neck and looked angrily at him.
