How does Coleridge use aural imagery in Part V of the Ancient Mariner?

Answer 1

Well this is just one example of aural imagery...

"And the coming wind did roar more loud,

And the sails did sigh like sedge;

And the rain poured from one black cloud;

The moon was at its edge." (Part V Line 318-321)

But basically Coleridge is using descriptive to paint a scene in your head (think of it as a movie?) Where you can not only see the billowing sails and the chopy sea but can also hear the rushing gale of the wind. I think he uses Aural imagery in adition to visual imagery because most people can relate to those two senses most.

(my opinion)

Answer 2

Coleridge uses aural imagery in Part V of the Ancient Mariner by describing the sound of the sails flapping and the rustling of the leaves as the ship moves through calm waters. He creates a vivid auditory experience for the reader, enhancing the sense of serenity and suspense in the poem.
