The Mariner now realizes the trouble he has brought upon himself, yet his incapability to speak does not give him the chance to pray out loud. Indeed every action has it's consequence whether good or bad, yet the Mariner had to witness the dice game between the spirit of Death and Life-and-Death as part of his punishment since, he expressed a belief that the world is guided by luck and chaos when he killed the albatross. The Mariner's pride has set him back to realize that all of nature's creations are to be respected and appreciated. In his anguish and guilt for his shipmates the Mariner is partially expatiated as he is able to recognize the swimming sea creatures as true
Larkin Pipes White Honors English 10 April 28, 2013 Sin revealed in “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” It is human nature to sin and without imperfection humans would live in an immaculate world with no need for God. Coleridge’s narrative poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” follows a lost sailor who has a spiritual transformation after killing an innocent bird. The poem breaks down sin, and elaborates on the narrator’s punishment, redemption, and transformation. The Mariner commits a sin against nature when he murders an impeccable albatross. He kills the pristine creature “without apparent premeditation or conscious motive” (Bloom 207).
The killing of the Albatross and the mariner bearing it as a burden is similar to Jesus’s resurrection and the cross. The Mariner’s quest for redemption also relates to his religious views in many aspects. Similarly, the inability to pray while the mariner is stranded on the liner is a distinct connection to the morals of religion. Allusions to Christianity play an essential role in the symbolism of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The presence of the Albatross in the Mariner’s rime contributes many ideas as well as aspects of Christianity.
It looks like they should kill their enemy, but at the beginning of two stories they didn’t because both barber and the narrator have justice in their heart. “Gregory” is a story about loyalty, friendship and irony. When the narrator’s execution is ordered the guerrilla's must choose between their friend and their loyalty to their country. However, the narrator has to obey the order to kill him. In “Just lather, that’s all”, the barber has a lot of chance to kill Captain Torres but he didn’t.
His crew had abandoned him on the island and let him die to the Indians. Now would he have been worth defending, I would have defended him because he was a noble captain, had firm discipline but was not cruel, and he died fighting till his last breath for his beliefs. Although he lost sight of his mission and by doing so, put his whole crew in danger.
Hamlet kills Polonius behind the tapestry because he suspects that it might be Claudius, but when he unveils the body and discovers that it is Polonius, he shows no sign of guilt at all. He acts like he is “convinced that he is the complete master of an obviously unhealthy situation” (Prosser Pg. 125). A person who wants nothing more but justice for the death of a loved one would feel bad for killing an innocent person during the process, but that is not the case with Hamlet. He shows no sign of guilt or remorse towards the death of Polonius, because he is clearly past the point of justice and is seeking revenge.
In addition to this the Wedding Guest refers back to the Mariner’s glittering eye which is suggestively the hypnotic factor about the Mariner which is keeping the Wedding Guest engaged in the Mariner’s story and, furthermore adds to the image of the Mariner being supernatural. We then return to the Mariner’s voice. Throughout part four we are receiving the Mariner’s story of how he found his epiphany. The Mariner tells us through the narrative how he becomes less self-focused and how he reconnects with God. The Mariner’s voice is used to tell the story of how he violated universal harmony, but, his epiphany allows him to reconnect with God and much he should actually appreciate the creatures God creates.
Another is how Fujimoto, Ponyo’s father, hates all humans because of the bad effects to the ecosystem that they cause. Fujimoto once was human sacrificed it all to serve the sea. For example when he states,”I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.” (Thoreau, lines 46-47). Even though Ponyo’s father loathes humanity, she has so much love for both humanity and nature that instead of bringing humanity down, she wants nature to come up alongside it. Fujimoto is the advocate for the idea that humans – society, corrupts people.
In The Myth of Sisyphus -Sisyphus stole the gods secrets and he was punished for this action. It was said that realizing that he was close to death that he wanted to see how much his wife really loved him, and he was granted that but fell for the scene of life and wanted to stay there. “But when he had seen again the face of this world, enjoyed water and sun, warm stones and the sea, he no longer wanted to go back to the infernal darkness.” (Camus The Myth of Sisyphus). This is somewhat similar to the emotions
This crime without motive brings death to the crew, except for the mariner to kill the bird's neck hangs footprint wickedness as unjustified. Some expressions of beauty found in the poem are: a. Albatross: the death of this innocent bird represents innocence and purity. Then the mariner, without reason, killed the albatross and for that comes the punishment. The albatross was a bird that was fed and tamed by the ship's crew, and sailed with them; for it represents purity and innocence that was killed at the hands of someone the bird trusted. We see the beauty of the bird and the symbolism it represents beauty, but explained by Coleridge in a tragic way, perhaps to flatter your beauty nature.
