'“Mariner’s Sin, Punishment, Redemption and His Penance”\r'

'â€Å" knave’s Sin, penalization, buyback and his penitence” â€Å"If men could learn from history, what lessons it consider sufficient power teach us. But passion and comp some(prenominal) blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us. ” This is one of the famous quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). In his one of the magnificent work, â€Å"The rime of the ancient sea dog”, Coleridge has been able to nurture his quote mentioned above. The decision made by the young and excited diddly-squat to go through the millstone helping them and the consequences which was faced by the replete(p) sailing lot.Mariner, the main purpose not only was sorry for what he did, he also went through a series of transformation devising him transform his sin. He then suffered both his vivification searching for redemption. Mariner was whole nearly the places to redeem his sin. Not only he suffered attacks from his haunted past, he had to let every(prenominal)one sack proscribed about his deed just to position hold relaxed. Mariner killed somebody who helped the wide-cut work party survive the iceberg lettuces they were in after the besiege stroked them. The albatross who flew with the gravy boat, was decided to be a help from the idol himself, momenting in on the whole the sailors trying to pet the bird.As whole the conclave possessed positive aura when the iceberg cracked and they once more were in the return sea c everywhereed with fog. Something evil consumed jackfruit midpoint and he killed the bird with his crossbow. The accurate member was cursing him for his deed at first, save when the fog doughed clearing out everybody was praising the Mariner. Entire crew who was turn a authority from Mariner for what he did was today agreeing on the sin committed. This now ingests all the crew full of sin, which was not be in t heir favor. Soon their internet site glowering worse, the breeze stopped, and they were in the middle of the maritime without any movement.Without any water, â€Å"Water, water, everywhere, Nor any inclination to drink. ” suddenly entire crew was beggary for water. It’s a hu valet de chambre character to be happy and sad depending on the situation he puts himself in. When there argon dear things happening then they all forget about the harm it scum bag cause. Coleridge proved the human nature on this poem. When the sin was committed, one tends to agree with it, until it has any negative effect. When perfection started anger upon them, entire crew turned to Mariner to unchurch him again for what he did.In ones normal life, one al routes tries their best to blame someone for the sin they become helped in. God get out always punish the one who have committed sin as corresponding in the poem. As the entire crew was involved in the crime, soon they start to get punished. They start to see the wrath from the idol in form of varied unnatural ways in the charm of nature. The sunbathe was getting in truth hot. â€Å" set d give dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down… ” â€Å"All in a hot and copper sky, The bloody sun at noon. ” Hot and dry, and without water the sailors were in dire need of help.Even putting the albatross’s cross about the labourer did not help anything. They could see the unworthy and gross creature with legs making entire crew suspicious about their future. later the passing of the recondite ghost ship, all the members start dying one by one. As if the sin committed by the tar, was all the reason for the death. The old-fashioned Mariner is punished mentally by the phantasmal world. The Mariner finds obligated for his crews suffering (along with the Mariners own suffering) as the penalty for killing the albatross.The Mariner is punished by being obligate to watch his crew be relea sed and cognise he must(prenominal) suffer pull ahead (he must suffer alone): â€Å"The thoughts did from their bodies fly, They fled to bliss or woe! And every soul, it passed me by, Like the soar of my cross-bow. ” The past Mariners physical and mental punishment continues and he becomes the living exsanguinous. The Mariner is forced to feel invariant agony and has the constant urge to assure others (who he knows must assay his story) his story in browse to momentarily relieve his pain: â€Å"That torment returns: And till my ghastly tale is told, this spite within me burns. God plays in mysterious ways. Although Mariner is getting punished as his colleagues ar dying one by one and all he mickle do is just look at them cursing him. To make diddley responsible for their misfortune they hung an albatross cross around the neck so that the mariner go away see that every time and feel the pain and agony felt by the entire crew before dying. Mariner was get ting punished also he possessed the crime, besides still god was testing him. Even in the slash situation ever faced by the mariner, god had a plan from which he could escape his guilt.The mariners own sense of guilt is enhanced through the consequences he faces in the physical world, as a result of the powers of the metaphysical world. That is the powers of the spirits in the poem, pull up s precedes for severe contrasts in the physical world, which in relation to the mariners sense of guilt, are ruminative of his own unsettled mind. â€Å".. More grievous than that… I saw that curse, and yet I could not die. ”He was in great pain. Soon the mariner was in a condition of a living dead person. He was alive, but for no good.Soon he realizes he needs help from the god, but the presence of the negative aura makes that impossible. â€Å"I looked to heaven, and tried to pray; But or ever a prayer had gusht, A wicked whisper came, and made my heart as dry as sploshâ₠¬Â Soon that night when he again sees the slimy creatures, he finds those creatures to be really wonderful and a part of god’s creation. He then understands every creature in this world is evenly completed by their creature i. e. god. after realizing that his necklace of albatross fell and he was able to pray to god. The selfsame moment I could pray; And from my neck so sluttish The albatross fell off, and sank Like add into the sea. ” With the help from god, he could hear the meddling and knowledgeable voice; he has to do a lot of penance in the future. Waking up after he fainted, he found it was raining; belatedly he regained consciousness, and finds that his curse has been lifted, his entire crew members were alive filled with good souls and it was making the boat to move. â€Å"Then comparable a pawing horse let go, she made a sudden bound; It flung the blood into my head, and I fell down in a swound. When he reached towards his home, he was approached by t he indicator lamp and his young crewmate, also accompanied by the caveman. The cave man might have been direct by the help of god for the info about the penance to be through with(p) by the mariner all his life. The boat on which mariner was lying started to get fall in the ocean akin the albatross fell when it was shot. Amazingly mariner was still floating on the ocean. When they make back to the shore, Mariner immediately starts asing for redemption.As the mariner closely associates the hermit with religion, to act wish well a priest, upon seeing the man, the mariner believes it is he who will free him from sin. â€Å"It is the hermit good! / He singeth loud his godly hymns that he makes in the wood . He’ll shrieve my soul he’ll stifle away the Albatross’ blood”. The mariner intends for the hermit to wash away the albatross’ blood, and thus, his, sins. The hermit does go away this to happen â€Â â€Å"Oh shrieve me, shrieve me holy man! The hermit crossed his brow. ‘Say quick’, quoth he, ‘I bid thee say — what manner of man art thou?  The mariner is gripped with a compulsion to tell his story to the hermit. This is how the hermit offers the mariner redemption. As soon as he tells the story to hermit he feels really good. He is then told to tell his story to concourse who need to hear his tale to get off the pain that persists until he tell the story. â€Å"The verse of the Ancient Mariner” teach us to spang all the creation of the god. Submission to god is the only option for all people to enjoy their life. It is really foolish to take an instant decision and face the consequences for ever.Only people, who love God’s creation i. e. men, birds, and sensual and everything created by god, can pray thoroughly and gain a place in heaven. The poem also encourages people to be faithful to god. Redemption and somewhat penance may be the only way for anyone to get rid of his sins. It is up to us to decide what action are sins and what are not. There will be objects and situation which will make it harder for one to decide, but correctly analyzing and choosing ones action is the only way not to do any sin, which is distant better than to penance all over one’s life like the mariner in the poem.Citation: -Stillinger/Lynch.
