Answer:
Respect for all forms of life is an essential value.
Unmindful destruction of nature and its creatures
deserves just punishment. Its a true statement with
reference to the poem, ‘The Rime of the Ancient
Mariner’. In this poem, the mariners were struck
in the wrong direction due to a tyrannous storm.
Only icebergs were visible there but not even a
single sign of any living creature. One day, a bird,
albatross visited them. Its arrival brought a major
change in the weather. The mariners also used to
call him and feed him. For nine days, he had come
regularly at 9.00 am to them to have food and play
with them. But one unfortunate day, the ancient
mariner killed the albatross with his bow and arrow.
He did the crime without thinking. Owing to the
crime committed by him, the conditions of all the
sailors were becoming worst. Weather changed and
the irony was that, though they were feeling thirsty,
they could not drink the water, because the water
which surrounded them was filthy and full of slimy
creatures. So, towards the end, all the sailors hung
the dead albatross around the Ancient Mariner’s
neck and removed the locket of Cross. They did this
to make him remember the sin committed by him.
So, we should think before doing anything, wrong
otherwise we will be punished by the God.
