In Part III of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the Mariner draws blood from his arm as a means of expressing his deep sense of guilt and despair. This act symbolizes his self-punishment for the crime of killing the Albatross, which he recognizes as a grave mistake. The pain he inflicts upon himself reflects his internal turmoil and foreshadows the suffering he must endure as part of his penance for the consequences of his actions.

Why did the wedding guest beat his breast in Rime of the Ancient Mariner?

The bride had entered, the minstrels were going on and the wedding ceremony was to begin in the hall. But the ancient mariner was holding the bride-groom in a magical spell of poetry, telling him the story of the sin in the ghost ship. So only it was normal that the wedding-guest beat his breast fearing that the ceremony would be over without him. The anxiety and suspense Coleridge created in this part of the poem was only a prelude to the unbelievable things he was going to tell in the poem.


Who were the two voices speaking in part VI of the rime of the ancient mariner?

Two spiritual bodies offering a stylistic break from the rest of the poem, one a questioner and one giving ambiguous statements. They listen to The Mariner's tale but aren't compelled to hear it as the Wedding Guest is (they move on- one urges the other on). They are omniscient and can give an explanation for The Mariner's situation as unbiased observers. The idea is raised through them that reality is not set.


What advice does the mariner give to the wedding guest in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner?
