Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Part VI

Supernatural Presence

"Each corse lay flat, lifeless and flat,/And, by the holy rood!/A man all night, a seraph man, On every corse there stood," (Coleridge 488-491)

Holy rood = Holy Cross

This a reference to God and his power

The quote also refers to a "seraph". A seraph would likely translate to angel.

The Mariner wakes up

  • The Mariner breaks out of his trance and his penance begins again

  • He sees all the dead crew standing on the deck of the ship staring at him
  • the mariner is not able to take his eyes off of them, not even to pray
  • The mariner has made amends for the curse

Romantic Elements

Quote: "For she guides him smooth or grim/ See, brother, see! how graciously/She looketh down on him," (Coleride 418-421)

"She" refers to the moon. The quote shows apparent and true appreciation for the moon's supreme power.

Awe of Nature

Mariner is put into a trance

Strong Sense of Emotion

"Oh! Dream of joy! is this indeed/ The lighthouse top I see?/Is this the hill? Is this the kirk?/ Is this mine own countree?" (Coleride 464-467)

Shows the sudden outburst of emotion.His joy is directly translated from the sheer amount of punctuation found in this quote.

The Mariner spots his home country

  • The mariner is put under a spell by an angelic power and the boat is made to go at full speed.
  • The Mariner sees his home country and becomes really glad and overwhelmed with emotion
  • The angelic spirits stop possessing the dead bodies and appear in their own forms
  • The Mariner sees a boat appear
  • the Hermit on the boat "washes away the Albatross's blood"
