- In the rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, the Mariner was cursed and was not able to speak or pray.
- When the Mariner killed the albatross, the spirit of the albatross was following him. It was in a way a sign of his curse still being with him.
- When the gambler had won the gamble, all of the sailors had died. When all of the sailors died they were all lying down on the floor dead with all of their eyes being fixed on the Ancient Mariner.
- Quite a while later the albatross had fallen from following him and was now free from the curse, although there were a few twists about it. There was a cloud of rain following him whilst he was on the boat. Although he really needed the rain it was more than a light drizzle, it was a thunder storm. He really needed the rain because when he was cursed it made his mouth really dry, so he couldn’t speak. He couldn’t even speak when he was free from the curse.
- The Ancient Mariner heard a particularly strong wind in the distance but did not feel a hint of it.
- Because the Ancient Mariner was sailing on a sailboat, it was unlucky for him to have no wind supporting him so he was stuck.
