The Rime of The Ancient Marine

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” conveys to us a message that people have to recompense for their wrong actions. The Mariner’s punishment for betraying nature by shooting the Albatross is his intense agony and misery.

The Mariner’s destiny, however, is not under the control of a pardoning God because his agony always returns after he finishes telling his tale. No matter how much he prays or weeps: his sin will never leave him.

God is prevalent throughout this poem. After the killing of the Albatross, God begins to start the punishment for the Mariner’s crimes. Their ship is pushed into a silent sea where the sailors were quickly stranded; the winds died down, and the ship was "As idle as a painted ship / Upon a painted ocean."
