What is a summary of ancient mariner?

Answer 1

The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner is about a ship sailing the high seas which became a ghost ship after the sin of killing an albatross which followed the ship with good luck and good weather was committed. The sailors began to drop down dead one by one and thus the ship became a ghost ship. The ghosts of the sailors rose from their bodies and pulled the ropes, set the sails and worked the ship. Only the narrator of the poem remained alive to tell this tale. At last when he was able to make a prayer without suffocating himself, there was redemption and the sinned ship allowed reaching a port. This poem was Samuel Taylor Coleridge's masterpiece creation.

This poem conveys and teaches a strong moral. Do not meddle with the divine intentions of nature's creations and manifestations, for they represent a higher intelligence. In this poem The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, we see a harbinger of good fortune being killed through the thoughtlessness and recklessness of a single sailor and all the sailors in the ship except one dropping dead one by one as a consequence of this sin. Man whose actions are governed mostly by emotions has no right to judge divinity.
