The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

extract from the seventh part

denotative analysis

The extract from the seventh part is the end of the ballad.

The Mariner closes his tale and before leaving he urges the Wedding-Guest to respect all the living things because the respect increases the intimate relationship with God.

After that the old man vanishes and the Wedding-Guest stays alone but he doesn't return to the feast: he begins to wander thoughtful.

The man is now sadder and wiser so the Mariner thanks to his story had been able to change completely his listener condition.
