Answer 1

Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner was written as a tale of the supernatural. Its melancholic tone pervades the story as the Mariner tells of shooting an albatross and thus enraging the spirits of wind and sea. The story's tone continues to be melancoly and hopeless throughout the portion telling how the Mariner's shipmates punished him by hanging the dead albatross from his neck, and how they were all killed in a deadly dice game. The tone changes once the Mariner finds that he cares for the sea creatures he once cursed and his burden drops from his neck. Hopefulness and
redemption lift the mood of the poem at last, although the Mariner is doomed to wander the earth to tell his story to all he meets. He message, however, is not sad but positive: "He prayeth best who loveth best."

Answer 2

In those particular strains Coleridge needs to rigidity upn the gloominess of the placement. He says that the climate is undesirable and the cliffs which embody them look making issues worse as they mirror the easy purely to make the great ecosystem gloomier than ever. Dismal sheen is the oxymoron right here it quite is used to intensify the understanding of the great scene. The sheen which potential the easy or the glow is dismal, is unhappy ,is uninteresting and not in any respect welcoming...particularly it style of feels to create a feeling of foreboding.

Answer 3

you know, the funny thing is I got kinda turned on to this poem(not sexually) from an Iron Maiden song. Now I have seen it popping up a lot lately. An older Clive Cussler book i am reading, here, on some TV show I was watching the other day. Seems like things work in cycles.

Well its about a shipful of men who ended up cursed to sail forever without drink because one mate grew tired of the albatross and killed it. In the poem these men were as worthy as the albatross and they had killed one of God's creations. At one point the greatest line is written: water water everywhere but narry a drop to drink.
