In the narrative poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a sailor kills an innocent albatross that has been following his ship.
Taking this life has serious consequences for the sailor and his crew, whose journey grows difficult. The sailor’s life is seemingly derailed by just one instance of overconfidence.
While the poem chronicles an ostensibly pragmatic voyage to the Antarctic, its narrator shares profound observations of his environment and his own resulting mental state.
Ghastly figures gamble for the life of the crew and sea serpents writhe in the freezing waters surrounding the boat. Because the narrator of the poem is the only survivor, his subjective experiences become the only record of the ill-fated venture.
Filled with savage natural imagery and human emotion, it also contains references to the supernatural.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge is considered one of the founders of the Romantic Movement of the 18th century. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was first published in 1798 and epitomizes the Romantic form, a rejection of the cold rationality of the Enlightenment. The Romantics valued natural speech, simple themes, the beauty of nature, emotion, and abstract thought.
The narrative poem contains many important symbols, including the albatross, representing good luck or a bad omen in maritime lore; the gaze, symbolizing the supernatural and communication without speech; and the sun and moon, representing the opposing forces of the Mariner’s journey.

While I can appreciate his enthusiasm, his tone is a bit too "high-energy" for this poem IMO.

That was a great analysis of cool words just poem! I remember my senior year in high school writing and analysis paper about what the wedding guest could have learned from the Mariners tale. Although I went in depth with details, there is some details that you highlighted on that I did not see. Good thing though, I still got an a+ on my grade on this paper! This poem truly does have a metaphorical meaning on life. If you have a hidden desire that guides you to positive places, but you kill your dreams, you are the living dead! Something that many of us need to hear!

Help! At .50secs the video suggests Rime is an old spelling of Rhyme. At 1 min it says Rime can also mean 'frost,' an icy substance that can form on sails and ships. Is anyone knowledgeable enough to know which 'Rime' Coleridge was suggesting????

Informative and very helpful for a close reading assignment for school. But please, for the love of God, tone down the enthusiasm in your presentation. You can deliver the same information without the almost cartoonish level of expression. This an analysis of romantic era poetry, not a children's television show.

I'm not sure teaching a lit class as if you're dubbing a cartoon character is the best idea. I can't focus on the content, his tone of voice is too distracting.
