The Rime of Ancient Mariner Summary

The Rime of Ancient Mariner Summary of the Chapter is given below:

A group of wedding guests was on its way to a wedding feast when one of them was stopped by an old sailor. He was eager to tell him his story. The sailor insisted upon it and the guest was forced to stay back and listen to his story.

The mariner began his story that how their ship sailed from the harbour on a happy note. They had a smooth journey for a short period of time after which a storm drove their ship southwards towards snow and mist. The ship got stuck in the lifeless region with huge masses of ice surrounding it. The ice made thunderous sounds as it cracked.

At this point of time an Albatross came flying through the mist. It was treated to be a noble soul, a holy messenger of God. With its arrival the snow cracked and gave way to the ship which once again started sailing.

The holy bird accompanied the ship, and was fed by the crew. A favourable south wind blew which drove the ship out of the cursed land of snow and mist. The sailors thanked the bird as it was a good omen for them.

The wedding guest noticed that the sailor’s face suddenly turned sad. The sailor answered his curiosity that in a spur of the moment, with his crossbow, he had shot the bird dead.

His fellow sails men blamed and cursed him for killing the holy bird but later they felt that he was right in killing the bird which had brought the fog and mist.

For some time, the ship kept on sailing smoothly towards the north. Suddenly, the wind stopped blowing and the ship came to a standstill.


Rime of the Ancient Mariner Summary Part II CBSE Class 10 English Lesson

Gradually, their stock of drinking water finished and although there was water all around them, they did not have a single drop to drink. The sea was so quiet that it seemed to rot, and ugly creatures moved on its surface. They felt that the bird’s soul had followed them to take revenge. Their mouths were so dry that they were unable to speak. All the crew stared at the mariner with hatred. They removed the cross which he wore around his neck and hung the dead Albatross in its place to signify his sin and guilt.

The poem is based on the theme of sin and redemption. After the ancient mariner commits a sin by killing the albatross, guilt hounds him in the form of strange natural and supernatural phenomena. During one terrifying experience, he has a change of heart and repents his wrongdoing. He carries out a penance, which is to travel the world to tell his tale to strangers.


The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Summary (in Hindi)

शादी में मेहमानों का एक समूह शादी की दावत के लिए जा रहा था, तभी उनमें से एक को एक बूढ़े नाविक ने रोका। वह उसे अपनी कहानी बताने के लिए उत्सुक था। नाविक ने इस पर ज़ोर दिया और मेहमान को वहीं रुककर उसकी कहानी सुनने के लिए मजबूर होना पड़ा।
नाविक ने अपनी कहानी शुरू की कि कैसे उनका जहाज बंदरगाह से ख़ुशी के साथ रवाना हुआ। थोड़े समय के लिए उनकी यात्रा सुचारू रही जिसके बाद एक तूफान ने उनके जहाज को दक्षिण की ओर बर्फ और धुंध की ओर धकेल दिया। जहाज़ उस निर्जीव क्षेत्र में फंस गया जिसके चारों ओर बर्फ का विशाल ढेर था। बर्फ टूटते ही गड़गड़ाहट की आवाजें आने लगीं।
इसी समय एक अल्बाट्रॉस धुंध में उड़ता हुआ आया। इसे एक महान आत्मा, ईश्वर का पवित्र दूत माना जाता था। इसके आगमन के साथ ही बर्फ टूट गई और जहाज को रास्ता मिल गया जो एक बार फिर चलना शुरू कर दिया।
पवित्र पक्षी जहाज के साथ था, और चालक दल द्वारा उसे खाना खिलाया गया था। एक अनुकूल दक्षिणी हवा चली जिसने जहाज को बर्फ और धुंध की शापित भूमि से बाहर निकाल दिया। नाविकों ने पक्षी को धन्यवाद दिया क्योंकि यह उनके लिए एक अच्छा शगुन था।
बारात में आए मेहमान ने देखा कि नाविक का चेहरा अचानक उदास हो गया। नाविक ने उसकी जिज्ञासा का उत्तर दिया कि क्षण भर में, उसने अपने क्रॉसबो से पक्षी को मार डाला था। उनके साथी नाविकों ने पवित्र पक्षी को मारने के लिए उन्हें दोषी ठहराया और शाप दिया, लेकिन बाद में उन्हें लगा कि उन्होंने उस पक्षी को मारकर सही किया था जो कोहरा और धुंध लेकर आया था।
कुछ देर तक जहाज उत्तर की ओर सुचारू रूप से चलता रहा। अचानक हवा चलना बंद हो गई और जहाज रुक गया।
धीरे-धीरे, उनके पीने के पानी का भंडार ख़त्म हो गया और हालाँकि उनके चारों ओर पानी था, लेकिन उनके पास पीने के लिए एक बूंद भी नहीं थी। समुद्र इतना शांत था कि वह सड़ता हुआ प्रतीत होता था, और बदसूरत जीव-जंतु उसकी सतह पर घूमते रहते थे। उन्हें लगा कि पक्षी की आत्मा बदला लेने के लिए उनके पीछे आई है। उनके मुँह इतने सूखे थे कि वे बोल पाने में भी असमर्थ थे। सभी दल नाविक को घृणा की दृष्टि से देखने लगे। उन्होंने उसके गले में पहना हुआ क्रॉस हटा दिया और उसके पाप और अपराध को दर्शाने के लिए मृत अल्बाट्रॉस को उसके स्थान पर लटका दिया।कविता पाप और मुक्ति के विषय पर आधारित है। प्राचीन नाविक द्वारा अल्बाट्रॉस को मारकर पाप करने के बाद,
अजीब प्राकृतिक और अलौकिक घटनाओं के रूप में अपराधबोध उसे परेशान करता है। एक भयानक अनुभव के दौरान, उसका हृदय परिवर्तन हो जाता है और उसे अपने गलत काम पर पछतावा होता है। वह एक तपस्या करता है, जिसका अर्थ है अजनबियों को अपनी कहानी बताने के लिए दुनिया भर की यात्रा करना।

Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,
Glimmered the white moonshine.”

Nor any day for food or play
Came to the mariners’ hollo!

Poem
And I had done a hellish thing,
And it would work’ em  woe:

That made the breeze to blow!
Word Meaning
‘em: them
Woe: great unhappiness and sorrow
Averred: said firmly

Poem
Nor dim nor red, like God’s own head,
The glorious sun uprist:
Then all averred, I had killed the bird
That brought the fog and mist.
‘Twas right, said they, such birds to slay,
That bring the fog and mist.
Word meaning
Purist: rose up
Slay: to kill
Explanation of the above poem – As the ship reached a bit towards the north, the Sun shone appropriately. It was neither dim nor too bright (red in colour). It looked perfect just like the halo surrounding God’s head. The ship’s crew was cheery to see the Sun once again and now it gave an opposing verdict. The crew said that the sailor had killed the bird who had brought fog and mist with it. They said that he was right in killing such a bird which had engulfed them with the depressing fog and mist. (This shows that the crew was fickle minded and changed its opinion according to the changing circumstances).

Poem
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow followed free;
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.
Word Meaning
Foam: the bubbles formed on the surface of the sea
Furrow: the track formed behind the ship as it sailed ahead
Explanation of the above poem – As a favourable wind blew, the ship sailed fast. As the ship sailed ahead, it left behind a white – coloured foam in its path on the surface of the sea. The sea was very quiet and there was no sign of life. It seemed that the sailor’s ship was the first to have reached in that part of the world.

Poem
Down dropped the breeze, the sails dropped down,
‘Twas sad as sad could be;
And we did speak only to break
The silence of the sea!
Explanation of the above poem – All of a sudden, the south wind stopped and at the same time, the ship also stopped sailing. The crew became sad as it was stranded in the middle of the sea. The only noise that could be heard in the silent sea was that of the crew members talking to each other.

Poem
All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody sun, at noon,
Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the moon.
Explanation of the above poem – The weather was very hot, and the sky was full of the copper colour emitted from the hot Sun. The poet addresses the Sun as ‘bloody’ because it seemed to be thirsty for the sweat and blood of the crew. Once again, the Sun was right above the mast – it was overhead which indicates that they were in the equatorial region. The Sun was very huge in size just like the moon.

Poem
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
Explanation of the above poem – There was water all around the ship. The wooden planks of the ship shrank due to the dry heat of the Sun. The sailors were thirsty as the drinking water had finished. Although there was water all around, they did not have a drop to drink as the sea water was salty and so, it was not fit for drinking.

The death-fires danced at night;
The water, like a witch’s oils,
Burnt green, and blue, and white.
Word Meaning
reel and rout: types of dances
Explanation of the above poem – It seemed as if the fire of death danced around them doing various types of dances. The sea water was like the oil of a witch which emitted different shades of green, blue and white as it burned. (witch’s oil has been taken from Shakespeare’s play titled ‘Macbeth’ in which the witch burned a magical oil which emitted different colours).

Poem
And some in dreams assured were
Of the Spirit that plagued us so;
Nine fathom deep he had followed us
From the land of mist and snow.
Word Meaning
Spirit: soul of the dead albatross
Fathom: a measurement of depth

Was withered at the root;

We could not speak, no more than if
We had been choked with soot.

Withered: lifeless and dry
Soot: solid smoke
Explanation of the above poem – The tongues of all the crew members had dried till the end due to prolonged thirst. They were unable to speak, and their throats were dry as if they were full of dry smoke.

Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung.”
Explanation of the above poem – All the crew members of the ship – old and young stared harshly at the sailor. They thought that they were suffering due to the curse bestowed upon them by the holy soul of the albatross. In order to punish the sailor for the sin committed by him, the cross was removed and instead the dead albatross was hung around his neck. It would remind him time and again of the grave sin committed by him.
