Understanding The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Map
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1798 ballad about a sailor who kills an albatross and is condemned to retell his story. A mind map of the poem divides it into its narrative frame, the voyage, the supernatural events, the crew's punishment and the moral lesson. Each branch shows how these parts connect.
- Plot: the voyage, the albatross, and the becalmed ship
- Supernatural events: Death, Life-in-Death and the spectre-ship
- Characters: the Mariner, the Wedding-Guest, the hermit
- Symbols: the albatross, the cross and the water snakes
- Themes: guilt, penance, nature and the value of love
Use the map to revise the plot in order, then test the themes and symbols. To build a version from your own notes or a PDF of the poem, CogniGuide can create a personalized map in minutes.
