Question

why does the second speaker call the first or grey beard loon on the basis of chapter the rime of ancient mariner

Answer 1

Answer: ‘Loon’ means a ‘mad person’. The second speaker (the wedding guest) called the first speaker (the ancient mariner) a loon because the latter stopped him from going to the wedding. He neither knew him nor was acquainted with him at all. He had come excitedly to attend his kin’s wedding, not to hear an old stranger’s tale of woe.
