Abstract
S. T. Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” admits of many levels of reading and surely defies any one level of interpretation. The Mariner’s tale is simultaneously a tale of adventure, of romance, of horror, of joy, of comedy, of tragedy. It is a tale of another world of unseen worlds and spirits. It begins in a known world and steadily and quickly moves to the unknown, the mysterious, only to return again to the known, to the traditional. In fact it projects a spiritual journey to and through a world coloured by an active imagination, delineating the alienation of the psychic anguish and restlessness.
