Ø Romantic era
Ø Active reawakening of the English repulse
Ø Intense emotion
Ø “I would compare the human soul to a ship’s crew cast on an unknown island – T.J. Coleridge
Ø Experiences in personal life –
Ø Mysterious workings of our mind
Ø Never knowing when the agony of remembrance will return
Ø Christian belief abundant throughout the poem
Ø Albatross – as Christ
Ø Lingering question – how the mental agony is relieved? By sharing
Ø Struggle between – ego and super ego
Ø Never truly be free from Opium – guilt
Ø Psychological poet – par excellence
