Super Natural Elements
of S.T. Coleridge
S. T. Coleridge is the
greatest English poet of supernatural. His supernatural imagination is
controlled by thought and study. He has employed refined, suggestive and
psychological methods of mystery and horror in the poem.
There are a number of impossible,
incredible and fantastic situations.
The sudden appearance of the mysterious
skelton-ship, the spectre-woman and her mate, the coming back to life of the
dead crew, the sudden sinking of the ship.
Beside the supernatural
phenomenon there are also many natural phenomenon in his poems. The sun shining
brightly at the outset, the mist and snow, the freezing cold of the Polar
Regions, the moon going up the sky, the roaring wind, the rainfall etc. are the
natural phenomenon in these poems.
The realistic effect is
also mentioned in his poems. How Mariner tried to pray but could not, how he
found sleep impossible, how he felt lonely on a wide sea, how he suffered
physical, mental and spiritual torture. The psychological study is added to the
realistic effect because; if we do any fault or make any fault we will also
suffer in the same way under similar circumstances.
