Ancient Mariner”? (5 “I”s) Provide specific examples.
The characteristics that are evident in the rime of the ancient mariner are intuition and imagination. The imagination aspect is the most evident, it is displayed in about every sentence that escapes the crazy old mans mouth. He spins a crazy tale with sea monsters and freaky demons. Foul acts that he committed forced his shipmates into an unbelievable horror story with death and nightmares of life and death. He shoots an albatross that evidently caused the wind to blow, after it was dead so they stopped moving. The men on his ship hung the albatross across his neck so all would know of his deeds. The crew and the old man quickly experienced dehydration he watched them die but for some reason he didn't die alongside them, i believe he experienced hallucinations and that was the only reason this story existed.
