The wedding guest was scared of the ancient mariner and his skinny hand.
The ancient mariner couldn’t pray.
The dead men on the deck did not rot and they were still looking at the ancient mariner.
The ancient mariner watched the water snakes in the sea.
The albatross came off his neck into the sea and now he could pray.
METAPHOR:
THY SKINNY HAND
What it means by that is it’s like his hand is a skeletons hand because he hasn’t drank anything for ages meaning he is starting to look like a skeleton.
