Answer:The fellow sailors of the Ancient Mariner are fickle-minded. They cannot be trusted and are cowards. When the Ancient Mariner kills the bird, Albatross, they condemn the killing of the bird of good omen. They are afraid that some misery will befall them. But, when nothing of the sort happens, they change their mind. They now hold the Albatross responsible for the fog and the mist and justify its killing so they put the dead Albatross around the Mariner's neck as a mark of his sin. The Mariner goes insane after this incident
