encounter is that it is not simply with a monster the mother but in a monstrous place as well the mere.

The mere is not far from Heorot. Frosted and crag-rooted trees shadows over the water. There, each night, can be seen a…

similar in that characteristic. The Mariner talks about his whole experience on his ship with his crew members and does not leave a single detail out. The speaker in the Kubla Khan does the exact same thing he goes into detail when talking abou the palace of the Mongol Emperor calling it a “pleasure dome” Both stories not only go into detail but have the same emotion within their stories. In both poems there is a connection between nature and man, that is explained by the appealing and repulsing…
