Symbols and Poetry in Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Coleridge

An ancient sailor person naturally felt strong about their personal religion, imagination and individualism. Freedom to think and talk for myself today is a universal concept. In Europe in the late 18th century, freedom of thought was not easy for people. Artists express feelings and emotions through their arts, and because of Samuel Taylor Coleridge his poem explains that some people in his era dare say it. In a romantic era, when imagination and nature were emphasized, Samuel Coleridge used his poem "Lime of Ancient Sailors" to reflect his religious-based ideas through symbols and poetry.

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.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's ancient sailor Rime is a moral story poem that conveys complex information to the reader, mainly due to its rich, symbolic meaning. In this poem, seamen stopped wedding guests and forced him to tell stories of albatross killing while traveling with the other seafarers at the sea. We know that seamen think he is cursed for this. He kills "in blind" or innocent creatures in superstition, he repents with anxiety about his mistakes.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Frost of ancient crewmen" is a poem about lonely seafarers who have survived devastating voyages in the sea. I believe that I am responsible for this tragedy, he will make himself tell a stranger about his strange story. The most general explanation of this poem is a religious view on crime and punishment. In the early days of this poem, seafarers shot the albatross symbolizing good fortune. Because shooting albatross is a moral mistake, you should prefer "all great and small things", so the crew will be finally punished.
