Tintern Abby and Ancient Mariner

A detailed Summary of Tintern Abby and Ancient Mariner

Compare and Contrast "Tintern Abbey" with "Ancient Mariner"

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return" This was sung by Nature Boy and I feel like it connects fairly well with Wordsworth's Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey and Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

I know that the man who visited Tintern Abbey felt this way by the way he was reflecting on the nature which surrounded him, and I hope that the mariner learned this lesson through his horrific travels at sea which were brought upon him.

The Hermit in The Ancient Mariner was like a monk, away from everybody and very in touch with himself. In this poem the hermit is a very powerful creature. When he comes along things become better again. The ship sinks and the sin of killing the Albatross is forgiven and forgotten. The hermit has a very innocent and free soul, which is evident by the power he has and how he is able to relieve some situations and make them better.
