Assonance is the repetition of similar vowel sounds followed by similar consonant sounds in words that are close together. One example of assonance is found in
ll.521-522(repetition of "o"), which enhances the lyrical quality of the stanza.
The theme is about the ingratitude of and and how he crucifies and kills the very thing God had sent for salvation. This is shown through a Mariner, who shoots the very bird that brought him the good South Wind, helping his ship to sail away from the ice cold South Pole where he was stranded. Due to his this action, doom befalls the ship and the crewmen, who, after they show support for the Mariner (T'was right said they/ to slay the bird that brought the mist and fog) die one by one and the Mariner lives on, for a fate worse than death, to roam around the world telling his story and its moral.
In a more detailed answer, the ship encounter a ghost ship, where Death and Life-In-Death are playing dice for the lives of those aboard the ship, Death wins the crewmen, while Life-In-Death gets the Mariner. So the crewmen die one by one while Mariner lives on, (7 days). He them prays as he chokes and the albatross hung around his neck falls and he feels without his guilt for once. The crew members then get reanimated as they sail the ship across. but take it into a whirlpool instead where they leave the Mariner alone. The Mariner however survives as a Hermit saw him, and the hermit with the help of a pilot and the pilot's son, saves him. The pilot but has a fit and his son thinks that the Mariner is a devil and goes crazy. This makes the Mariner sad and he takes up his fate of having to roam the Earth alone and tell his story to all. The last stanza's then switch to the wedding guest, who wakes as a "sadder but wiser man"
