        <description><![CDATA[The entire story hinges on the incredible descriptions the speaker gives us and the story that he tells.  We can't help but imagine and picture the scene as a movie behind our eyelids as he tells it.  As part of the movie, the mariner does mention color quite often, and it brings the narrative to life in certain spots--a little like The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy opens the door and her black and white world is suddenly infused with brilliant...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is neat.  I know that Wordsworth was rather put out with Coleridge's failure to produce in quanitity as Wordsworth did for their collarborative effort, "Lyrical Ballads".  This is believed to be largely due to Coleridge's drug problem.  I will definitely check out this book for more info on the subject.  Thanks, Jamie!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This poem was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and is considered the epitome of a Romantic poem.  Some of the qualities of a Romantic piece include imagination, the supernatural, nature, the individual, and a connectedness to God or a Higher power.
In The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the title's spelling of "Rhyme" as "Rime" gives the poem a faraway and ancient feel--just as the language and syntax in the poem does.  This helps add to the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The mariner's journey is a spiritual one, as well as a fantastic sea voyage, and the profound nature of his experience is the force that drives him to share his story, long after it occurred. The mariner's crime is that he killed the albatross, for no other reason than that he could and chose to exercise his selfish will. The symbolism of the albatross can be interpreted in many ways. It lived as a part of God's natural world and had served as...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Wind is extremely important to the Mariner, or any sailor for that matter.  Without the wind, his crew was stuck "as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean."  Without it, the men would have died of thirst.  However, because the mariner shot the Albatross, the men were doomed anyway. 
They needed the wind to sail, that's the bottom line for its importance.  As far as seeing it as an image of the soul, there are some parallels. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There is lots of Personification throughout.  Most of it has to do with the sun.  The sun takes on human qualities and develops a pronoun of "he."

"The sun came up upon the left, Out of the see came he! And he shone bright, and on the right Went down into the see."

Then an example of a paradox could be when they are surrounded with water, yet cannot drink a drop.  They are dying of thirst, yet cannot drink the salt water.

"Water, water,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" has a great deal to do with the character of the mariner.  The poem doesn't tell us how old the mariner is when he kills the albatross, but certainly he is a much younger man than he is at the opening of the poem when he stops the wedding guest to tell the guest his story. It was the mariner's character that led him to kill the albatross for no reason.  He was a man who did not appreciate nature.  In Part...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Authors choose their titles carefully for a variety of literary reasons, and diction plays a significant role in framing a title. Imagine, for example, what the effect would have been if Coleridge had called this work "The Poem of the Old Sailor." Just awful! Who would read that? "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," however, is a rich and intriguing title.
The word "rime" is archaic and brings to Coleridge's work the connotation of age and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The mariner's penence or punishment was to be on the ship with the 200 corpses. He fell in love with life rather than the water snakes. This is why he was gifted life from life in death. Because he was surrounded by death and he still managed to enjoy and love life]]></description>
