Pre-reading activities The story of “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This a adventurous story of a sailor. By neglecting the law of hospitality, the mariner cruelly shot an albatross which flew to the ship through thick fog. Then disaster fell onto the ship. The breeze died down; the ship stopped; the hot tropical sun shone all say long. The other sailors died of thirst one after another, while the mariner alone was alive, being tortured all the time with thirst and the horror of death. Only when the mariner finally repented and blessed for the water snake did the spell break and the ship was then able to go back home. The mariner’s sin was that in killing the albatross he rejected a social offering, he obliterated something that loved him and represented the possibility of affection in the world. Of course, the mariner finally recovered from isolation joyfully; but the joy came only from his own changed attitude and his willingness to look differently on the world.
