role as the punisher. After the spirits decide the fate of the mariner, his crew “with heavy thump, a lifeless lump... dropped down one by one” (219-220). The image of his crew dropping to the ground establishes the ruthlessness of the punishing spirits and the horror the mariner must face as his entire crew drops dead around him.
