Perhaps uniqueness in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner may not be the most strange element. However, transparency is outstanding in the poem. The poem is defined by what it describes itself. For instance, the marginal glosses, an epigraph as well as a moral at the end suggest ideas of the poem with high clarity that one may try to predict them. Moreover, the poem may also be viewed to have succeeded in teaching the lessons of love for God’s creation, expiation, spirits, and guilt. An oddity is important in achieving this. Furthermore, the poem applies the novelty of the tale, making it possible to recognize and remember the ancient and simple lessons.

For instance, The Mariner portrays how contempt defies the mysteries of the spiritual world.
