We concluded our in depth analysis of Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by discussing that despite the Christian symbols in the poem , expiation ,even if sincere, does not assure Grace or even respite from guilt. In this way, the poem deviates from traditional Christian theological thought notwithstanding the poem's references to Christ, a cross, blood and resurrection. We explored how the mariner's sin against Nature appears of such magnitude that the poet suggests that a life long sentence of preaching his tale of guilt and remorse is the Mariner's just punishment. Nina continued to address and identify symbols , such as the albatross, and the use of figurative language and offered ideas of how the poem's use of "sound" devices enhances the text. Compared to the peaceful calm poetry of Wordsworth previously studied, we noted how this poem's aura of the horror of the fantastic creates a totally different mood and tone even though both Wordsworth and Coleridge are considered Romantic poets. After reviewing Nina's homework answers on the poem, we then studied a love sonnet by Elizabeth Browning . As a product of the Victorian era, I explained how the erosion of faith caused by scientific and technological advances informs the poet's transfer from her passion for her faith to a passion for her beloved such that her love even transcends her death.
