An example of the horror aspect of this seven part poem includes the part when the narrator of the story describes the ghost ship on the horizon with Death and her crew aboard. The narrator in Coleridge 's poem describes death to have red lips, golden hair, pale skin, and had the capability to make people freeze in fear because she looked scary (Coleridge 448). Another example of horror in literature in this piece was after Death had claimed the souls of all the mariners, except for the narrator, and the dead bodies had "groaned, they had stirred, they all uprose, Nor spake, nor moved their eyes; It had been strange, even in a dream, To have seen those dead men rise" (Coleridge 457). Both parts from the Coleridge 's poem have been hugely influenced by supernatural beings and death, making it an excellent example of horror in literature from the Romantic Period, and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" was also a huge influence on the ideology of zombies and humanizing death during this time period and in later literary
