What hellish thing had the ancient mariner done? how did his fellow sailors react

Answer 1

What "hellish thing" does the mariner do in "the rime of the ancient mariner", and how do the other sailors react to it?

The hellish thing he did is the killing of the albatross. The other sailors were upset because they thought the bird was a good omen. However when they see that the fog was lifted they thought maybe it was a good thing that the bird was killed.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a poem in 7 parts by Samuel Taylor Coleridge that first appeared in Lyrical Ballads, published collaboratively in 1798 by Coleridge and William Wordsworth.

The title character detains 1 of 3 young men on their way to a wedding banquet and mesmerizes him with the story of his youthful experience at sea—his slaughter of an albatross, the deaths of his fellow sailors, his suffering, and his eventual redemption.

In buzz, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner offered an ecological message long before the environmental movement arose. It is a strange, haunting tale of privation and redemption, now adapted for the stage by Patrick Siler and presented by Upstream Theater.
