The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Synopsis
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1797–1798. It unfolds as a weathered sailor stops a wedding guest and recounts a sea voyage that turns disastrous. His narrative centers on an act committed against an albatross, after which he experiences supernatural punishment and witnesses the deaths of his crew. Bound to his experience, he is forced to wander and to keep telling what happened, presenting the story as a form of penance. Through its haunting imagery and moral weight, the poem reflects on guilt, the possibility of redemption, and the consequences of going against the natural world.
