The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is one of the most-referenced pieces of Romantic poetry. Ever heard "Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink"? Yup, it's from here (although in the original text it's ''nor any drop to drink''). It is a relatively long Narrative Poem about a disaster-prone ship, enclosed in a Framing Device where the sailor who cursed it is describing his travels to a guest at a wedding. It's notable for its religious and naturalistic themes and for having a lot in common with Gothic literature. The poem is divided into 7 sections, each dealing with a different part of the Mariner's journey.Gustave Doré illustrated it in a beautiful and unforgettable way. More recently, Underground Comics artist Hunt Emerson published an illustrated edition that is unforgettable in a very different way. Iron Maiden turned it into a 14-minute Filk Song.Borrows elements from Nautical Folklore. Has its own Referenced By page. | |

Too Good to be True | |
| The Rime of the Ancient Mariner / int_196d2598 | comment |
Too Good To Be True: The Mariner points out that there's something wrong with the way the unfamiliar ship is moving towards them, considering there's no wind, no tide and it's coming way too fast. As it gets closer, it becomes clear that it shouldn't even be floating. | |

Redemption in the Rain: The day after the Mariner's curse is lifted, a tremendous rainstorm appears, and he stands in it, gulping down the water, so happy he believes he died and is in paradise. | |

Diabolus ex Machina: Things go south rapidly after the Mariner kills the albatross, with the arrival of Death's ship being the final cruelty. This is balanced by the lengthy Deus ex Machina that returns the Mariner to his home country. | |

Rambling Old Man Monologue | |
| The Rime of the Ancient Mariner / int_4e6cb27f | comment |
Rambling Old Man Monologue: The entire poem basically seems like one at a glance - an old sailor, the titular Ancient Mariner, stops a guest at a wedding ceremony to tell the guest about a sailing voyage the Mariner took long ago. Understandably, this guest initially has misgivings about some old guy wanting to tell him something suddenly (especially since the actual ceremony was about to begin). However, the Mariner is actually compelled to tell this story with the intent of teaching a lesson rather than him just rambling senilely for little obvious reason as the trope really is. | |

From Bad to Worse: After the Mariner kills the albatross, the ship is freed from the ice and carried north... and then becalmed, surrounded by sea monsters, haunted by the spirit of the albatross, and beset by a shipwreck where Death and Life-in-Death gamble for the lives of each of the crew. | |

Superstitious Sailors: The title mariner is cursed for shooting an albatross, which sailors consider bad luck as they are considered good omens and can lead one to land.

Felony Misdemeanor | |
| The Rime of the Ancient Mariner / int_c59cfa2e | comment |
Felony Misdemeanor: The events of the poem occur because the Mariner kills an albatross. Then again, some critics argue that the albatross is representative of Jesus. Also, Nautical Folklore holds albatrosses to be good omens (perhaps as they often show land is near) and in killing one it was believed you bring on bad luck and misfortune. And even if the Mariner, himself, didn't hold with such a belief, killing a bird that was plainly the source of hope for so many of his shipmates was a rotten thing to do. | |

Everything's Deader with Zombies: The Wedding-Guest interrupts the Mariner twice out of fear — once when he thinks the man died with the crew and he's speaking with a dead man and then a second time when the bodies of the crew stand up to sail the ship. The Mariner reassures him that 1. he's not dead, and 2. the spirits that reanimated the crew were benevolent, possibly even angels. | |
