Question:

In the poem-"the ancient mariner" why does the mariner stop 1 of the 3 guests?

i mean-why does he stop that particular man?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is not said in the poem, and the guest himself asks him why he has stopped him. So, as the reason is not given, it is surely not very important. What is more important is that this particular guest changes in the course of the poem (obvious in the very last stanza).
