Imagery- 1 Consider: The many men, so beautiful! And they all dead did lie: And a thousand slimy things Lived on; and so did I. Within the shadow of the ship I watched their rich attire: Blue, glossy green, and velvet black, They coiled and swam; and every track Was a flash of golden fire. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” Analysis: These stanzas show the Mariner’s changing attitude toward the creatures of the sea. What is the Mariner’s attitude in the first stanza? What image reveals the attitude? What is the Mariner’s attitude in the second stanza? Analyze the imagery that reveals this change.

Imagery- 1 Discuss: The Mariner’s attitude in the 1st stanza is revealed through the contrasting imagery associated with the men and the creatures of the sea. The men are described as beautiful. In contrast, the creatures of the sea are inferior men and not worthy of living when the men are dead. The image that reveals the attitude about the sea creatures is the thousand thousand slimy things which live on even though the men have died. The creatures of the sea are not even named. The persona calls them “slimy things,” which diminishes their importance. They are also linked with the narrator (a thousand thousand slimy things/Lived on; and so did I) who is reviled at this point in the poem; and they share the narrator’s virulence. In the second stanza the Mariner completely changes his attitude toward the sea creatures. They are no longer a thousand thousand slimy thing; instead, they have a “rich attire.” The colors used to describe the creatures are specific and positive. The green is glossy; the black is velvet. They leave a track of golden fire as they coil and swim. The sea creatures are no longer seen as vile; rather, they are resplendent and beautiful.
