The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

A characteristic of romantic literature in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the love the Spirit from the Land of Mist and Snow felt for the Arbatross. The Spirit from the Land of Mist and Snow loved the Arbatross so much that when the Mariner killed him he made the Mariners life on this boat a living hell. Instead of going about losing his beloved Arbatross reasonably he went straight to revenge (Intuition). I think The Rime of the Ancient Mariner also put spirits, and ghosts, and angels over what actually happened. Honestly i think this guy was just out on the water too long and he started hallucinating.
