kind in The Rime the Ancient Mariner. Modern man‘s juxtaposed vulnerabilities and calamities constitute significant thematic contributions tothe critical appreciation of the poem. Using various modernist artistic techniques and mechanisms, Coleridge stresses a variety of questions about his mariner as a modern man who gets lost amidst a stormy life. The chaotic nature is Coleridge‘s largest crucible of human experiences and futilities. Also, spiritual and earthly implications of modern man are mirrored in the wavy world of the poem. Alienation, solitude, absurdity, and fragmentation are basic passions and pain-driving powers, on their theoretical, practical, epistemological and artistic grounds. The paper also examines the modernist formalistic techniques in which the poet depicts modern man‘s reactions to redeem himself and transform to a better catharsized man.read more
