To What Extent Can It Be Said That Longfellow's 'The Wreck Of The Hesperus' Is A Ballad Written In The Ballad Tradition.

"To conclude of what I think that 'The Wreck of the Hesperus' is a ballad clearly written to the traditional formation of a ballad. This is a ballad because it tells a definite story of a ship called The Hesperus and it sinks in a hurricane and it has a definite rhyme scheme. It has a tragic, tragic being the captain's daughter, him and the crew dieing. This seems to be the main point of the ballad. The ballad appears to concentrate on the captain and his daughter. Yet it is hard to distinguish that the captain is actually the villain. This is reason why he ties his daughter to the mast and not taking her to safety. It has most of the characteristic to what makes a brilliant ballad. The characteristics that he left out didn't change how good the ballad is. On my opinion it is certain that 'The Wreck of the Hesperus' near the top ballads ever written."

Discuss the Importance of Place in "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner".

"In conclusion, the implementation of different places in âThe Ancient Marinerâ is important as the setting is used by Coleridge in conjunction with the narrative. The different compass points are possibly used to reflect the changes in the Ancient Marinerâs spiritual understanding of the world. Without the different settings, the narrative would not be as effective as they are important in symbolising the different aspects of human nature, both moral and immoral."
