 Papers - Mariner
She discusses first of all the Mariner's audience's discomfort with the poem's strangeness and Gothic elements, and attributes that to a patriarchal society that must have reason and sensibility, cause and effect.
The Mariner fails to embrace his world with feeling, and so reverts to an attempt to gain understanding, and is sentenced to replay his story over and over again, to random guests in an arbitrary and alienated universe.
The Mariner's guilt is self imposed (and socially encouraged); the burden of the Albatross to the Mariner is that he accepts it and accepts the sailors' condemnation, signified by the bird around his neck.

 The Ancient Mariner Interpreted as a "Wanderer -- Essay at LiteratureClassics.com
To the extent that ''transgressing'', albeit as the prerequisite of repentance, is a Synonym of ''wandering'' in one of its principal senses, Goethe's Faust reflects the new positive significance with which Goethe and the Romantics invested the word ''Wanderer'' and all that became associated with it in their minds.
The Ancient Mariner is a poem which contrasts antipodes and opposites, while at the same time inducing a number of such antitheses to merge into one figure or symbol.
The Mariner's visual encounter with the water snakes poses the counterpoint of his act of killing the albatross, an act that likewise sprang from subconscious impulses.

The Ancient Mariner shoots the Albatross as if to prove that it is not an airy spirit, but rather a mortal creature; in a symbolic way, he tries to “classify” the Albatross.
If the Ancient Mariner represents the universal sinner, then each sailor, as a human, is guilty of having at some point disrespected one of God’s creatures—or if not, he would have in the future.
Just as the Ancient Mariner is forced to balance in a painful limbo between life and death, the writer is compelled and even condemned to balance in the liminal space of the imagination “until [his] tale is told.” Like a writer, he is equally enthralled and pained by his imagination.

In the Fifth Edition of The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, Garibaldi notes that the word "plagiarism" is derived from the Latin word for "kidnapper." Plagiarism is "intellectual theft." It is using "another person's ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the source" (30).
The writer acknowledges his source and documents the passage with a parenthetical reference, but he has misunderstood the difference between quoting and paraphrasing.
This writer knows that it is often best to reserve direct quotes for those phrases that could not be stated more eloquently or more succinctly than the original author has done.

The literary gods must have smiled on future New Yorker writer Wilkinson (Violent Act), for he lived the dream of aspiring writers everywhere: to have for decades the ear (and eye) of a giant, the late William Maxwell, acclaimed novelist and legendary New Yorker editor.

The memoirs of a number of first-hand witnesses, including William Power, Lewis Spence Neil Munro and Lowden MacCartney all confirm that there was, during McGonagall's time, some question as to whether he was "`fooling them to the top of their bent' because of the profit attached".
While he had in fact sent verses to Victoria humbly imploring her patronage, these had been returned immediately with due thanks and a polite explanation that "it is not usual for Her Majesty to receive manuscript poetry".

 The Literary Gothic | Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Poet, critic, lecturer, Unitarian minister, moralizer, world-class talker, friend of William Wordsworth, and one of the most canonical (for what that's worth) figures of the British Romantic period, Coleridge (or STC, as he often referred to himself) is the "major" Romantic figure most associated with the Gothic, both now and in his lifetime.
This is due largely to the popularity of his so-called "mystery poems": "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "Kubla Khan," and "Christabel," poems which were responsible for much of STC's popular fame in his time and which remain wonderful "Gothic" poems today.
A consideration of the parodic and satiric possibilities of the "Ancient Mariner," including an assertion of STC's own subsequent "parodic" and ironic stance relative to the text of the poem.
