Question

Why was the albatross considered as a "Christian soul"?

Answer 1

The albatross was called as a Christian soul because the mariners thought the Providence sent a living creature to them for company in response to their prayers. They were so glad to find a living creature at the pole where they had not seen any living being or animals for days together. So in their happiness they called it a Christian soul.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the poem the Albatross is considered as a

'Christian Soul' because it was hailed in God's

name as it appeared from nowhere. It was a

savior to the mariners. After its arrival, the ice

bergs started cracking, making way for the ship

to move forward and brought a major change

in the weather.
