In “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, the Mariner compels the Wedding-Guest to listen to his story. At first, the Mariner physically stops him with his “skinny hand,” but when the guest resists, calling him a “grey-beard loon,” he lets go. Then, with his “glittering eye,” the Mariner exerts a kind of hypnotic power that holds the Wedding-Guest spellbound. The guest becomes motionless, “like a three-years’ child,” unable to resist. Finally, he sits on a stone, completely captivated, and listens as the Mariner begins his strange and fateful tale. This scene highlights the Mariner’s supernatural influence and sets the tone for the mysterious story that follows.
