4. The Sailors
• Two hundred seamen
who set sail with the
Ancient Mariner on one
clear, sunny day.
• As the albatross death
took place the sailor
suffered from debilitating
heat and thirst.
• Even though their souls fly
out, their bodies refuse to
rot and lie open-eyed on
the deck, continuously
cursing the Ancient
Mariner.
• When the ship reaches
the harbor, they once
again curse the Ancient
Mariner with their eyes
and then disappear,
leaving only their corpses
behind.
The Albatross
• A great, white sea bird
that presumably saves the
sailors from the icy world
of the "rime" by allowing
them to steer through the
ice and sending them a
good, strong wind.
• The Albatross, however,
also makes a strange mist
follow the ship.
• It flies alongside the ship,
plays with the sailors, and
eats their food, until the
Ancient Mariner shoots it
with his crossbow.
The Ancient Mariner
• The poem's protagonist.
He is unnaturally old, with
skinny, deeply-tanned
limbs and a "glittering
eye."
• Since he killed the
albatross he was harshly
punished.
• He is cursed to be
haunted indefinitely by his
dead shipmates, and to be
compelled to tell the tale
of his downfall at random
times.
• Each time he is compelled
to share his story with
someone, he feels a
physical agony that is
abated only temporarily
once he finishes telling
the tale
The Wedding Guest
• One of three people on
their way to a wedding
reception; he is next of kin
to the bridegroom.
• The Ancient Mariner stops
him, and despite his
protests compels him to
sit and listen to the
entirety of his story.
• He is afraid of the Ancient
Mariner and yearns to
join the merriment of the
wedding celebration, but
after he hears the Ancient
Mariner's story, he
becomes both "sadder
and...wiser."
CHARACTERS

5. The First Voice
• One of two voices
presumably belonging
to a spirit.
• He explains that the
Ancient Mariner
offended a spirit by
killing the Albatross,
because the spirit loved
the bird.
• Other than this
moment, the First Voice
relies on the Second
Voice to explain the
Ancient Mariner's
situation to him.
Death
• Embodied in a hulking
form on the ghost ship.
He loses at dice to Life-
in-Death, who gets to
claim the Ancient
Mariner's soul; instead,
Death wins the two
hundred sailors.
The Second Voice
• The second of two
voices presumably
belonging to a spirit.
• The Second Voice is
softer than the First
Voice-"as soft as honey-
dew"-and more
knowledgeable.
• He explains to the First
Voice that the Ancient
Mariner will pay for his
crime much more
dearly than he already
has.

6. The Wedding-Guest declares that he
fears the Mariner, with his glittering
eye and his skinny hand.
The Mariner reassures the Wedding-
Guest that there is no need for dread;
he was not among the men who died,
and he is a living man, not a ghost.
Alone on the ship, surrounded by two
hundred corpses, the Mariner was
surrounded by the slimy sea and the
slimy creatures that crawled across its
surface.
He tried to pray but was deterred
by a “wicked whisper” that made
his heart “as dry as dust.”
He closed his eyes, unable to bear the
sight of the dead men, each of who
glared at him with the malice of their
final curse.
For seven days and seven nights
the Mariner endured the sight,
and yet he was unable to die.
At last the moon rose, casting the
great shadow of the ship across the
waters; where the ship’s shadow
touched the waters, they burned
red.
The great water snakes moved
through the silvery moonlight,
glittering; blue, green, and black,
the snakes coiled and swam and
became beautiful in the
Mariner’s eyes.
He blessed the beautiful creatures
in his heart; at that moment, he
found himself able to pray, and the
corpse of the Albatross fell from his
neck, sinking “like lead into the
sea.”

7. As the Ancient
Mariner drifts on
the ocean, the
natural world
becomes more
threatening.

8. His surroundings -
the ship, the ocean,
and the creatures
within it - are
"rotting" in the heat
and sun, but he is the
one who is rotten on
the inside.

9. Meanwhile the sailors' corpses refuse
to rot, and their open eyes curse him
continuously, giving the Ancient
Mariner a visible manifestation of the
living death that awaits him.

10. He will age, but his
body will never rot
enough to release his
soul; his eye will
glitter forever with
the horror of
damnation.

11. As the Ancient Mariner floats,
he becomes delirious, unable to
escape his overwhelming
loneliness even by sleeping: "I
closed my lids, and kept them
close, / And the balls like pulses
beat; / For the sky and the sea,
and the sea and the sky / Lay
like a load on my weary eye..."
His depravity has even denied
him the comfort of prayer.

12. Ironically, it is the
"slimy", "rotten"
creatures
themselves that
finally comfort the
Ancient Mariner
and allow him to
pray.

13. Until this moment,
Coleridge's imagery has
underscored the overbearing
nature of the Ancient
Mariner's environment: it is
hot, salty, pungent, and
"rotten."

14. However, his
surroundings - and
the imagery that
accompanies them -
turn cool in the
moonlight.

15. Coleridge compares the moonlight to
a gentle frost, connecting it to the
serenity of the "rime": "[The moon's]
beams be mocked the sultry main, /
Like April hoar-frost spread."

16. A glow in the moonlight,
the sea creatures begin
frolicking, rather than
churning nastily creatures
of a beautiful, supernatural
world, they "moved in
tracks of shining white, /
And when they reared, the
elfish light / Fell off in
hoary flakes...I watched
their rich attire; / Blue,
glossy green, and velvet
black, / They coiled and
swam; and every track /
Was a flash of golden fire."

17. Whereas
Coleridge's
descriptions of the
ghost ship, sun,
and sailors are
replete with spare,
harsh imagery, he
describes the
water-snakes in
decadent, lush
terms.

18. Only when the Ancient Mariner is able to
appreciate the beauty of the natural world
is he granted the ability to pray - and, it is
implied, eventually redeem himself.

19. Earlier in the work, the
desiccated setting represented
the Ancient Mariner's moral
drought, but the moment he
begins to view the natural world
benevolently, his spiritual thirst
is quenched: "A spring of love
gushed from my heart." As a
sign that his burden has been
lifted, the Albatross - the burden
of sin - falls from his neck: it is
no longer his cross to bear.

20. MESSAGE FROM THE POEM
Those who experience spiritual enlightenment feel compelled
to share what they have learned and suffering is sometimes
the only way to change someone's habits for good, and it
takes a whole lot of this painful medicine in The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner to make the Mariner realize that all of
nature's creations are worthy of love and respect because it is
said that 'If you will harm nature, Nature will take its revenge'
