"The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner"-
Colridge
- 2.They left port, and the ship sailed down near Antarctica to get away from
a bad storm, but then they get caught in a dangerous, foggy ice field. An
albatross shows up to steer them through the fog and provide good winds,
but then the Mariner decides to shoot it.
- 1. Three guys are on the way to a wedding
celebration when an old sailor (the Mariner) stops
one of them at the door (we'll call him the Wedding
Guest). Using his hypnotic eyes to hold the attention
of the Wedding Guest, he starts telling a story about a
disastrous journey he took
- 3. Pretty soon the sailors lose their wind, and it gets
really hot. They run out of water, and everyone
blames the Mariner. The ship seems to be haunted
by a bad spirit, and weird stuff starts appearing, like
slimy creatures that walk on the ocean. The
Mariner's crewmates decide to hang the dead
albatross around his neck to remind him of his error.
- 4. Everyone is literally dying of thirst. The Mariner
sees another ship's sail at a distance. He wants to
yell out, but his mouth is too dry, so he sucks some
of his own blood to moisten his lips. He's like, "A
ship! We're saved." Sadly, the ship is a ghost ship
piloted by two spirits, Death and Life-in-Death, who
have to be the last people you'd want to meet on a
journey. Everyone on the Mariner's ship dies.
- 5. He continues his story: he's on a boat with
a lot of dead bodies, surrounded by an
ocean full of slimy things. Worse, these slimy
things are nasty water snakes. But the
Mariner escapes his curse by unconsciously
blessing the hideous snakes, and the
albatross drops off his neck into the ocean.
- 6. The Mariner falls into a sweet sleep, and it
finally rains when he wakes up. A storm strikes
up in the distance, and all the dead sailors rise
like zombies to pilot the ship. The sailors don't
actually come back to life. Instead, angels fill
their bodies, and another supernatural spirit
under the ocean seems to push the boat. The
Mariner faints and hears two voices talking
about how he killed the albatross and still has
more penance to do. These two mysterious
voices explain how the ship is moving.
- 7. After a speedy journey, the ship ends up
back in port again. The Mariner sees
angels standing next to the bodies of all
his crewmates. Then a rescue boat shows
up to take him back to shore. The Mariner
is happy that a guy called "the hermit" is
on the rescue boat. The hermit is in a
good mood. All of a sudden there's a loud
noise, and the Mariner's ship sinks. The
hermit's boat picks up the Mariner. When
they get on shore, the Mariner is
desperate to tell his story to the hermit.
He feels a terrible pain until the story had
been told.
- 8. In fact, the Mariner says that he still has the same
painful need to tell his story, which is why he stopped
the Wedding Guest on this occasion. Wrapping up, the
Mariner tells the Wedding Guest that he needs to
learn how to say his prayers and love other people
and things. Then the Mariner leaves, and the Wedding
Guest no longer wants to enter the wedding. He goes
home and wakes up the next day, as the famous last
lines go, "a sadder and a wiser man."
