        <description><![CDATA[I am not familiar with the "Rise of the Ancient Mariner," so I hope you mean, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Cooleridge. In his poem, Coleridge uses internal rhyme, or middle rhyme, which is a rhyme which occurs within a single line of poetry. Rhyming in or at the ends of lines is a strategic choice for the author."The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast," and "The Wedding-Guest he beat his breast," seem significant...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Internal rhyme is when a rhyme occurs within a single line of verse.  Coleridge uses this device frequently in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.  Some examples are,

"The guests are met, the feast is set" (Line 7).
"The ship was cheered, the harbor cleared" (Line 20).
"And he shone bright, and on the right" (Line 26).
"The Wedding Guest here beat his breast" (Line 30).

In each of these examples, there is a word in the middle of the line...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[

The Mariner, whose eye is bright,Whose beard with age is hoar,Is gone : and now the Wedding-GuestTurned from the bridegroom's door.
He went like one that hath been stunned,And is of sense forlorn :A sadder and a wiser man,He rose the morrow morn.


I guess you could say that, after hearing the Ancient Mariner's story, the wedding guest is no longer in a partying mood. He's heard a wild and riveting story of ignorance, revelation, death and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Yes, all kimfuji says I agree with, but we need to back up a bit. The Ancient Mariner's enlightenment begins when he carelessly kills the albatross:

At length did cross an Albatross, Thorough the fog it came; As it had been a Christian soul, We hailed it in God's name. It ate the food it ne'er had eat, And round and round it flew. The ice did split with a thunder-fit; The helmsman steered us through! And a good south wind sprung up behind;...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[According to most interpretations, this long poem is a christian allegory. For example, when he is out to sea all the crew members die but him, the Mariner. For 7 days and 7 nights he has visions of the dead. This is an allusion to the 40 days and 40 nights in the bible, that the followers of God experienced in the Exodus.
In the poem, the Mariner's curse is lifted when he sees sea creatures swimming in the water, even though he criticised...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the old seaman restrains a guest on the way to a wedding and relates his nautical tale of woe. On a voyage to the Antarctic, the Mariner kills an albatross along the way, and bad luck suddenly falls upon the crew, who forces him to wear the dead bird around his neck as a reminder of his crime. Eventually, the entire crew dies except for the now accursed Mariner; he survives...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Mariner had shoot an albatross at the start of the story, an act that he deemed casual and without animosity, but actually he committed an impulsive and indestructible act that would cause tons of harsh consequences. He would later come to realize the grave and critical consequences of his casual and harmless act and that he would have to be responsible for it, to be punished for his misdeed and learn for his sufferings that he need to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This question has been asked and answered several times.  Please look at the links below to find what you need for this poem.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do...it has the mystical, magical quality of Romantic poetry reiterated by the spelling of "Rime" in the title, the trance the mariner puts his audiences in, and the sing-song rhythm.  Happy Reading!...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Did your teacher give you this as an assignment? I find it a bit like mixing up apples with oranges.
Anyway, here goes....
Both are written in metered verse.
Both have supernatural elements, including disturbances in weather as signs of disapprobation from Heaven.
Both deal with guilt and remorse and the need for atonement.
Both borrow elements of Greek tragedy.
Both are classics, with universal appeal.

        <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>
