The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

This poem has a lot of romanticism in it. Imagination has to do with things that happen in your mind and not in real life. The mariner imagined many spirits were sending his messages and were also punishing him, this was all in his imagination. There was no reason behind his beliefs and he believed in fantasy over believing in reason. Intuition has to do with knowing what comes next, or thinking you know what is going to happen next. His intuition tells him that he is not going to die because the spirits have cursed him to live while all of his crew dies. Reason would have us believe that he would die just like the rest of his crew, but his intuition tells him differently. The mariner was inspired in a way by the albatross, it inspired imagination in the mariners mind.
