1a) In this part of the poem the ancient mariner is all alone on the ship with all of his crew dead at his feet. His soul is In agony because he feels sad for all the people he so sadly killed. No god or saint took pitty on him and his agonising soul for what he has done. He looks across the rotting see and thats where all the dead men lay dead all across the deck. He believed for the sin he has done he would go to hell from the orphans curse.
