As yet, this famed canon has been read authoritatively in views of colonialism only to aid to establish its overwhelming position in the history of English literature domestically and abroad. However, such reading is thought to be banal or boring in the current stream of post-modernism or post-structurism trying to remove aura surrounding sacred canons. For that reason, the goal of this paper is to make an attempt at an eccentric, rather awry reading to break from established slavish readings serving to blind respect and breathtaking awe for this poem so far. Slavish reading is the phenomenon that naive readers in spite of themselves are indulged in the trap of autonomy a reality of text tends to grant. On the contrary, I try to resist in autonomy of reality inhering in the poem and to read it in views of post-colonialism denying subordination by ruling ideology or powers at my best. Accordingly, this trial can give some shock to the established themes created from this poem in the history of English literature: master and servant relation between albatross and ancient mariner, still state of ship and sea, curse and mercy, appearance of water snake and old mariner’s enlightenment.
For the old mariner’s murdering albatross, the suggestions that the tragedy was merely caused from his imprudence, or that he ruthlessly destructed community of love and life are the views based on colonialism to set superstructure/ base in that the albatross can be an icon reigning over human-beings. Instead, I view the murder as an unconscious eruption of dissatisfaction like humiliation lurking over a long while against Fascistized dissemination of ruling ideology the albatross stands for. As a result, the catastrophe, stillness of ship and sea, according to most of established readings, has been viewed as sinister curse from the sacred albatross, but I think of it as a kind of voidness generated from chaotic freedom loose from colonial hegemony after the loss of the icon having encroached the mariner’s life over a long term. Namely, unlike the existing views that appearance of water snake can deserve abundance of existence, harmony of universe, or acme of Coleridge’s aesthetics, I think water snake can function as another colonial mechanism to ‘re-territorialize’ the mariner since the snake can replace the albatross as an episteme of past. The view that the mariner’s blessing and forgiving surrounding existences can correspond to a kind of guilt resulting from the murder is system-oriented and system-subordinate in that the murder of albatross suppressing the mariner is a thing of no wonder and from causation. Namely, the ruling ideology playing a role of albatross choking the mariner can be justified, while the mariner can be reduced to an offender having murdered albatross rather than a righteous fighter for winning lost freedom.
Resisting reading against a ruling discourse like this authoritative poem out of English literature, tends not to be stripping away ruling ideology, but to be easily tolerating and guaranteeing it, deviating from the original mission of resistance. In the sense, with absence of a revolutionary and positive stance renovating the actual world under restraint of a ruling ideology, the argumentations of readings on a way of ‘Minerva’s owl’ is meaningless and useless, and the unconscious admission of poetic justice shown in the Shakespeare’s tragedies that most of the characters who challenged to regime ended in downfall must be reflected. Finally, For me to convert the transcendental signifieds endowed to this romantic canon reigning over English literature is just to practice ‘pleasure of text.’
