Summary in Simple Language Part I

The poem starts with the appearance of an old grey-bearded elderly sailor. He thinks himself to be guilty of killing a godly bird and wished that someone should listen to his story of guilt. He was sitting outside a wedding hall and saw three wedding guests arriving. He stopped one of the them compelled one of them to listen to his story. The guest was a close relative of the bridegroom. First of all he was unwilling to listen but soon he became helpless because he was hypnotized by the old man and he had to listen. All the guests had arrived and the marriage ceremony was about to start but the old man caught him with his wrinkled skinny hand and glittering eyes. Now he started telling him the story of his guilt and the guest kept on listening like a child of three year and got seated on a stone as he had no choice. The mariner told him that there was a ship. The ship started sailing in fine weather and passed through the church, below the hill and the lighthouse. Means they started with a blessing of God 
and all the members on the ship were very happy in the beginning. Their normal routine started. The sun rose from the left and went down into the sea on the right side. Days seemed to be passing normally. At noon, the sun shone brightly over the ship. In the meantime, the wedding guest started feeling upset, when he heard the sound of loud music of the bassoon, the sound of the musical instrument announced the arrival of the bride into the wedding hall. She looked as beautiful as the rose, dressed in her bridal finery (dress). As the band of singers and musicians passed by her, they nodded their heads happily, in approval and appreciation of her beauty. Once again the guest was quite upset and impatient, but having no choice, continued to listen to the story. The bright-eyed Mariner continued with his story. Now, when the ship was journeying, a fierce and very strong tidal storm came and over powering them with its force, drove them southwards. The ship dipping and turning, followed by the loud and noisy 
storm, kept moving in the southward direction, at a great speed. Now they were surrounded with mist and snow, it had become extremely cold. The green coloured ice, as high as the mast, came floating down. The floating ice from the steep sides of the icebergs created a gloomy atmosphere, all over the place. Nothing was visible, no living soul, human, bird or beast could be seen. Everywhere there was ice, and the ship was trapped. Sounds of the storm and cracking of the ice created a maddening atmosphere. And then appeared a bird, albatross, like a god-sent angel came and everyone welcomed it. The bird flew over the ship in circles, flapping its wide wings that made the ice crack and the ship moved forward into the sea. A favourable south wind directed the ship and the albatross followed. The friendly bird came every day, ate some food it seemed it enjoyed the food and the play and responded to the call of the sailors. It would come daily, irrespective of the weather and used to sit on the mast or the sail of the ship. It was so punctual that exactly at nine o’clock it would come and sit on the ship and remain there throughout the night. Suddenly the Mariner stopped and there was a haunted look on his face. The wedding guest asked him what was troubling him. The old man replied that he shot the albatross with his cross-bow, because of a mean thinking that it would end up their food. This act brought a curse down upon them all. Here Part 1 ends.
