Analyse a 2 stanza poem

 

Are those her ribs through which the Sun
Did peer, as through a grate?
And is that Woman all her crew?
Is that a DEATH? and are there two?
Is DEATH that woman’s mate?
green shows rhyme to make the reader want to read on and shows a beat
blue explains the same as green
red shows repetition with death 
grey shows metaphor of her ribs which did peer of the sun

The rime of the ancient mariner

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
