The rime of the ancient mariner

24 November 2016

Analysis

what effects does Samuel Taylor Coleridge create using sound devices in his epic poem rime of the ancient mariner?

He gets effects of sound of which makes it feel like you are a part of it,like you are at sea as if you can feel what they are feeling.The sound takes place in many lines in the poem such as Down dropt the breeze,the sails dropt down ”twas sad as sad could be and we did break the silence of the sea’which gives me a mindset of hearing the whooshing sound of the sea

Summary

An albatross shows up to steer them through the fog and provides good wind,but when the mariner decides to shoot it.

pretty soon the sailors lose their wind and it gets really hot. They run out of water and everyone blames the mariner. The ship seemed to be haunted by a bad spirit and weird stuff starts appearing like creatures that walk on the ocean.The crew members decide to hang the albatross around his neck to remind him for killing the albatross.

Everyone is dying of thirst.The mariner sees another ship in the distance the ship came towards him with two spirits.later everyone on the ship dies

The wedding guest thinks he is a ghost and he explained his story to him about the crew members
