Big theme

**Spoiler alert**

I think there are two rather large themes to this story.
1) What would you do for love? The main character pretty much goes back in time to WWII for a girl... and his personal safety, but the girl was a big part of it.
2) Would it really be that great to live forever? Would being a 12 year old for a 100+ years really be that great?

The Rime of the Ancient Marier

The Rime of the Ancient Marier
The poem displays some if the I's of the romanticism things we took notes on. it tends to ignore logic and just has a lot of feeling. Angels possessing dead bodies is not the most realistic thing I've read. It has some idealism snuck in there at the end. The over all theme is one about feeling guilt and paying for crimes. From shooting a bird to causing everyone of the ship to die of thirst. Kinda has the same theme as Hercules 12 labors. Where he kills him family hand has to pay, or work off his crimes.
