Symbolism in “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”

In 1798, Samuel Taylor Coleridge announced his poem "Mist of ancient sailors". Several versions follow, the most famous one is the 1815 version including gloss. This poem has evolved into a focus that is well known and controversial, especially with regard to the information Collierid tries to teach. The interpretation of the whole poem and the interpretation of various people, scenes and things are the subjects of many essays, essays, books, and lectures. In this work, about four things are the main symbol, and its structure itself has a possibility of symbolism.

In this article, I will study some symbols in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Mist of ancient crewmen". The symbol is very important in this poem. Without these symbols, "Ancient Sailor's Kite" will be a simple poem about an old sailor who tells a story about killing birds at the wedding ceremony. Of course, anyone who reads this verse can see more than just a story. The first symbol of poetry is the wedding of customers and sailors. This is a very important detail because Coleridge can tell a story in any environment, but he chose a wedding ceremony. why? Wedding is a very religious, very happy occasion. The wedding ceremony itself symbolizes a new beginning and happiness. Callorage decided to talk about this terrible story at the wedding ceremony for various reasons. I think that this environment was chosen because it means a new beginning.

"Ancient sailor kite" is a very important poem that depends heavily on symbolism. The wedding symbol, albatross, blood sucked by Mariner to declare a ship, game between death and death, confession of Mariner's service, and the cyclical nature of the poet add meaning and depth to the poem It is just a few symbols. If it is not a symbol, this poem is simply a story of a sailor telling his story to a hypnotic wedding guest, and that poem is meaningless to everyone. In fact, the "frost of ancient crewmen" is a poem with depth and meaning, and there is a lesson for everyone. When reading this poem, the reader can feel the love of the wedding guest, entrance and hypnosis. This is due to the symbol. Even though the reader of a poem does not consciously perceive the symbols in the poem, the subconscious will grasp them and understand the meaning of those inside.
