The albatross falls from the mariner's neck as a symbolic act of guilt and redemption. In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the mariner initially kills the albatross, which is considered a bad omen and brings misfortune to his crew. After enduring suffering and recognizing the beauty of all living things, he finally experiences a moment of spiritual awakening. The albatross, representing his guilt, is removed when he embraces love and respect for nature, allowing him to find peace and forgiveness.
