Abstract
This paper focuses on the symbolic significance of the Mariner’s brutal act of killing the
unsuspecting innocent Albatross for reasons and motives that are even unknown to the
former and relate this significant episode to issues that are individual and collective
prevailing over the whole spectrum of life. This argument will also bring into spotlight
the Albatross symbol that has been variously interpreted, with diverse dimensions, over
the years. The main purpose is to shed light on the individual-social paradigm in the
heavily loaded atmosphere of the ballad poem.
