Question

When the Albatross arrived on the ship the mariners experienced a sense of joy and were infused with new hope. Comment on the basis of chapter The Rime of Ancient Mariner

Answer 1

The Mariners had been trapped in the midst of icebergs and snow. They had lost all hope of escaping from the  ocean and felt relieved when the Albatross arrived.

The south wind started blowing, the weather improved,  and the Mariners felt comfortable and hopeful.

They were aware of the blessings the Albatross had brought  and compared the bird to Jesus who had brought joy and infused the people with new hope.

The bird provided  them company and they fed and played with it the bird proved to be very lucky, kind, and gentle to them and  hailed it as a ‘Christian Soul’ !
