the rime of the ancient mariner赏析篇一：The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a long narrative poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1798. The poem tells the harrowing tale of a mariner who experiences a series of supernatural events during a long sea voyage. It explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the power of nature. One of the unique aspects of this poem is its use of a frame narrative. The story is told by an anonymous narrator who encounters the ancient mariner at a wedding ceremony. The mariner then proceeds to tell his story, which serves as a cautionary tale for the wedding guest and the reader. The poem begins with the mariner and his crew sailing on a ship, when suddenly they encounter an albatross, a bird considered to be a good omen. The mariner, however, inexplicably shoots the bird with his crossbow, bringing a curse upon the ship and its crew. They become stranded in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by water but unable to drink any of it. As the crew members die one by one, the mariner is left alone to suffer. He is tormented by feelings of guilt and is haunted by the ghostly spirits of his dead crewmates. The mariner's only hope for redemption comes when he experiences a spiritual awakening, brought on by his profound connection to nature.Throughout the poem, Coleridge vividly depicts the power and beauty of nature. The descriptions of the sea, the ice, and the creatures thatinhabit them are both awe-inspiring and terrifying. Nature is portrayed as both a force to be reckoned with and a source of spiritual enlightenment.The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is also notable for its use of symbolism. The albatross represents the beauty and sanctity of nature, and the mariner's act of killing it symbolizes humanity's disregard for the natural world. The mariner's suffering and eventual redemption can be seen as a metaphor for the consequences of environmental destruction and the possibility of redemption through a renewed connection with nature.In conclusion, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a powerful and thought-provoking poem that delves into the depths of human guilt, the forces of nature, and the possibility of redemption. Coleridge's vivid imagery and use of symbolism make it a timeless piece of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.。
