Abstract
"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is a classic example of the Romantic poem. This paper looks at how Coleridge imports his own psychological message within the poem. It discusses how the poem emanates from a realm of psychological magic and madness, which lies in the subconscious mind of the reader as created by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the original "Ancient Mariner," who poetically placed himself aboard a doomed ship detached from reason and steeped in his own psychological wanderings.
From the Paper
"In Part Four of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the narrator glances "Beyond the shadow of the ship" and sees ". . . the water snakes" which ". . . moved in tracks of shining white/And when they reared, the elfish light/Fell off in hoary flakes" (lines 49-53). This description at first may seem like a contradiction in terms of the snakes being in the water, but as J. Livingston Lowes points out, "the snakes are indeed deep water serpents that rise to the surface of the sea to breath the air amid the shining whiteness of the waves, yet they appear to be emanating some kind of a glowing light which may indicate that the snakes are true bottom dwellers close to Hell some thousands of feet below" (214). Upon seeing these snakes, the mariner cries out "O happy living things!. . . " (Part Four, line 59) which shows that he is overjoyed to behold animate things in this desolate world on the sea, yet the snakes may also be symbols of his wandering, for they too slither through the oceans without direction or cause."

Abstract
This paper discusses Gustave Dore's set of forty-two engravings that accompany the story depicted in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." The paper quotes passages from the poem and describes how the accompanying engravings enhance the telling of Coleridge's story, in order to paint a more vivid picture for the reader.
From the Paper
"The engraving depicting the detention of the wedding guest at the beginning of the story sets the stage for the whole tale. Coleridge uses the frame story convention in order to enhance the story. The poem begins with the ancient mariner stopping a guest on the way to a wedding in order to tell the tale of his adventure at sea. This drawing is definitely on land, and serves to illustrate the contrast between land and sea that Coleridge intended. The background depicts a foreboding city scene, and the looks on the faces of the men in the engraving enhance the ominous atmosphere."

From the Paper
"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). It was first published in Lyrical Ballads, with a few other poems in 1798. The Lyrical Ballads were written and published jointly by Coleridge and his good friend William Wordsworth by whom most of the poems were written. The first version of the poem was entitled The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere, and much of the spelling was very archaic even at that time. In 1800 the second edition of the Lyrical Ballads appeared, with another volume of poems to accompany the first. Coleridge, at Wordsworth?s suggestion, had modernized much of the spelling and the title appeared in the form at the head of this page."

Abstract
A discussion of the similarities and differences between Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick'. It compares the stories' content and characters as well as their literary properties. It discusses the similarity between the main themes as well as the narrator's significance. It includes several excerpts form both books and analyzes them. Finally, it concludes that Coleridge and Melville seem to be delivering the same message. They urge us, as humans to accept the mysteries of the universe, however harsh we find them, or we will end up destroying ourselves.
From the Paper
"'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and 'Moby Dick' by Herman Melville are rich in thematic parallels. Both works are highly symbolic and are centered on the sea, which can be equated with the sea of life. Both stories are dramatic, fantastic, exciting and full of supernatural portent. Symbolism seen through nature is a major theme in both as the Mariner and Ahab share monomanical obsessions with albatross and whale. Both works are narrated by the only soul to survive the experience and both narrators, Ishmael and the Mariner with his ?glittering eye?( Coleridge l. 13) can be imagined to be similar strange figures who might corner a listener to tell the tale which haunts him. Both Ishmael whose liferaft is a coffin and the Mariner, whose skeleton ship disintegrates are ghostly reminders of their creators advice about dealing with life?s mysteries."

Abstract
This paper examines the content and characters of Coleridge's poem, which is considered by many literary scholars a classic example of English romantic poetry. This paper details the prevalent psychological references associated with the mariner's wanderings, which play a crucial role in the poem's overall effect. The writer of this paper cites various quotes from the poem to illustrate the psychological journey of the mariner as well his deep sense of depression and isolation. This paper also delves into the poet's unique style of writing as well as his intentional inclusion of mysteries relating to life and and death and ghostly apparitions, all manifested in an ominous white bird.
From the Paper
"Another part of this psychological journey has a lot to do with the Mariner trying to figure out why he is being forced to endure the tragedies that occur on the wide open seas. But unknown to him, it is because of his killing of the albatross that he is experiencing these things. One good example can be found in Part Six of the poem, where the mariners says "Like one, that on a lonesome road/Doth walk in fear and dread/And having once turned round walks on/And turns no more his head/Because he knows, a frightful fiend/Doth close behind him tread which shows that the Mariner is fearful of some unknown "fiend" which may be lurking behind him, much like a ghost or some kind of a specter. This "frightful fiend" could very well be Death himself with a skull face, the symbol of death for sailors during the days when pirates roamed the open seas."

Abstract
The paper reviews Coleridge's poem part by part. It discusses its main psychological themes and ideas, those of depression, loneliness and isolation. The author highlights how the main character, the mariner, is trapped in a watery and dangerous world filled with the unknown which Coleridge manipulates through the use of human psychology.
From the Paper
"After reading "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," one has the impression that the psychological journey of the mariner has much to do with a deep sense of depression and isolation which Coleridge describes with "Alone, alone, all, all alone/Alone on a wide open sea!/And never a saint took pity on/My soul in agony" (Part IV, lines 9-12). In addition, Coleridge provides the impression that another aspect of this psychological journey is related to the Mariner trying to figure out why he is being forced to endure the tragedies that are happening on the wide open seas. But unknown to him, these tragedies are linked to the killing of the albatross. One excellent example can be found in Part Six of the poem, where the mariner states, "Like one, that on a lonesome road/Doth walk in fear and dread/And having once turned around walks on/And turns no more his head/Because he knows, a frightful fiend/Doth close behind him tread" (lines 37-42)."

?The Rime of the Ancient Mariner?, 2005.
An examination of the role of animism in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers the issue of animism and the role it plays in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Specifically, it addresses the contentions that "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" forwards a belief in animism and how it proposes that God can be found in creatures of all forms and functions. It also discusses how the poem portrays a breakdown in the division between heaven and hell.
From the Paper
"Heaven and hell seem to reside on the earth itself, with justice and retribution being decided and carried out in the here and now. By killing the Albatross for no justifiable reason, The Ancient Mariner's transgression is punished directly and swiftly. Coleridge forwards a world in which the scales of justice are weighed and decided by the entities which exist and reside in and upon the world itself. Additionally, God, Death, Guardian Angels, and the like all come down to the earth itself to exert their influence. Reward and punishment are not things to be awaited in the after life, but rather things to be bestowed or endured in the present."

"Rime of the Ancient Mariner", 2000.
This paper helps to explain Coleridge's Biblical images, his reasons for using them, and what his positive spin on traditionally negative imagery means for spirituality post Enlightenment.

Abstract
This paper examines biblical imagery in Samuel Taylor Coleridge?s ?Rime of the Ancient Mariner? and the way in which Coleridge?s use of traditionally negative Christian imagery advocates a post Enlightenment renewal of religion through nature. Although his use of imagery and language is quite opposite to the advice given to poets by Wordsworth in the second edition of Lyrical Ballads, Coleridge accomplished many of the goals Wordsworth sets by emphasizing the importance of natural symbols in the spirituality of the mariner. This paper makes use of quotes by Wordsworth, Coleridge (from ?Rime of the Ancient Mariner?), and the Bible.
From the Paper
"Samuel Taylor Coleridge?s ?The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere,? which begins the second volume of Lyrical Ballads, falls short of Wordsworth?s appeal for simple imagery and language, but it is through the complexity of its imagery and language that the spiritual transformation that Wordsworth appealed to is expressed. By using biblical imagery early in the poem, and later using imagery that positively violates traditional Christian positive imagery in favor of imagery that valorizes nature, Coleridge iterates that spiritual change of Christianity to the new relationship between humankind and nature."

Examines the glorification of death in this poem by Samuel Coleridge.

Abstract
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" encompasses the ideals of Dark Romanticism in mid-19th century European poetry. The Dark Romantic movement, also know as Neo-Gothicism, is characterized by a solitary quest that is doomed to fail or lead to an unhappy life. This paper shows how "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" embodies these ideals by glorifying death as a positive experience that frees the soul from the bondage of life, while the Mariner has to continue his life alone in a literal curse.
From the Paper
"As the ship approaches land "the ship went down like lead" (l. 550). Yet the Mariner again eludes death and is rescued by a hermit and two other men. After escaping death so many times, the Mariner seems to pride himself on own good fortune. However, the Mariner has simply forgotten that his life is now controlled by Life-in-Death, which will eventually prove to be worse then Death. The Mariner is pulled from the water and asks his rescuer, a hermit, to "shrieve me [the mariner]" (l. 574) for the sins he committed on the ship."

Abstract
In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," considered by many scholars as the greatest masterpiece of English Romantic poetry, the psychological themes associated with the mariner's wanderings play a very crucial role in the poem's overall effect; thus, the Mariner himself is trapped in a watery and dangerous world as a result of his own psychological problems which arise from the realms of the unknown. This paper shows, however, that since Coleridge decided to use psychology to tell a good portion of this tale, it is relatively easy to insert other characters into the plot-line which may or may not add more depth and mystery to the poem.
From the Paper
"Also, the lines "And a thousand thousand slimy things/Lived on; and so did I" (Part IV, lines 15-16) indicates that he sees himself as nothing but a slimy creature cast upon the wide open sea where his journey as the Mariner eventually takes a turn for the worst when he kills the albatross and condemns himself and his crewmates to death. Of course, these "slimy creatures" could be enhanced with the addition of some type of sea serpent or monster, such as a giant octopus or a mythological creature. Since the earliest days of seafaring, sailors have reported seeing unidentified "sea monsters" in almost all of the major oceans; thus, the Mariner, like those early explorers, could have encountered some strange "slimy thing" during this part of the poem."

Abstract
This paper reviews the poem ?Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The paper includes a discussion on the origins of the poem and information relating to its original publication. The writer provides a line-by-line explanation of the poem, exploring its evident and supernatural meaning, with reference to a number of commentaries on the literature.
From the Paper
"In Samuel Taylor Coleridge?s ?Rime of the Ancient Mariner,? considered by many scholars as the quintessential masterpiece of English Romantic poetry, the symbolic themes of mystery and the supernatural play a very crucial role in the poem?s overall effect which John Hill Spencer sees as Coleridge?s ?attempt to understand the mystery surrounding the human soul in a universe moved by forces and powers. . . immanent and transcendent? (157). Yet the Mariner himself appears to be trapped in this supernatural world as a result of ghostly manifestations which emanate from the realms of the unknown. ?The Rime of the Ancient Mariner? was first published in Lyrical Ballads in 1798, a collection of poetry written and published jointly by Coleridge and his good friend William Wordsworth."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine various critical interpretations of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The plan of the research will be to set forth the bench-mark works of contemporary criticism that identify the major aspects of the work and the principal points of view that critics hold of it, and then to discuss the milieu of the poem with detailed refer-ence to its imagery.
The power of a poem to affect those with the ability to read or listen or understand is an important aspect of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, if Coleridge's background as a man of letters is taken into account in an analysis of the poem. Coleridge appears to have considered the creation of extraordinary imagery as a funda-mental element of poetry, as well as the singular aspect of poetry that distinguishes it as the primary and most durable form of art."
