The
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The
Rime of the Ancient Mariner relates the experiences of a sailor who has returned from
a long sea voyage. The Mariner stops a man who is on the way to a wedding ceremony and
begins to narrate a story. The Wedding-Guest's reaction turns from bemusement to
impatience and fear to fascination as the Mariner's story progresses, as can be seen in
the language style: for example, Coleridge uses narrative techniques such as
personification and repetition to create either a sense of danger, of the supernatural or
of serenity, depending on the mood of each of the different parts of the poem.
