What is the biblical allusion in the poem the rime of the ancient mariner

Dear student,

The biblical reference in the poem refers to the theme of Sin & Repentance as depicted in the poem. The mariner had committed a great sin of killing an innocent bird for no valid reason and thus, he had been punished for his deed. He was made to life for ages and repent for the wrong he had done. He was left alone in the world to survive and continue repeating his tale of shame.

Regards
