After this terrific bout with nature, and the deep messages which may be derived, the mariner ends the poem by simplistically saying that the moral is to just love all things. Yet the wedding guest seemed to get more from this, as he was " stunned" and brings thoughts of this tale to the next day, a " wiser" man. Perhaps all the narration shift has to do wi...
