Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1834 poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and Jane Campion's 2009 film "Bright Star" are both works which communicate romantic sensibilities through their chosen forms. . Although Coleridge's and Campion's forms differ radically, the same romantic values ​​can be seen underlying each piece; themes such as the defense of nature, the disastrous effects that attempting to control nature can cause, and the idea of ​​passion rather than reason. In “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” nature is represented not only as a physical force, but also as a spiritual force. . Throughout the poem, Coleridge implements the theme of nature in several ways, but one of the most important aspects is the idea of ​​nature as a teacher of spiritual morality. In the poem, Coleridge depicts nature as wild and untamed; it uses a loose meter that varies between tetrameter and trimeter to reflect the mental and physical actions that take place in the stanzas. For example, when "the blast of the storm came" and threw the ship "southward" into "the mist and snow," there is a stanza describing the ship's "leaning masts" as the storm took control of the boat. This stanza not only reflects the wild and untamed nature of the storm through the freer verse, which makes the rhyme scheme almost uncontrollable, but also through the length of the stanza itself, as it is two times longer lines as the preceding and following stanza. Coleridge uses the same technique to present the mental state of the characters – particularly the sailor's inner turmoil as his punishment for his crimes against nature unfolds. In an attempt to control nature, the Mariner shoots down an Albatross that the crew had “greeted… in the name of God” and the consequences prove disastrous for him since he finds himself turned away from nature. The effect this has on the Mariner is instantaneous as Coleridge extends the stanza describing the Mariner's "infernal thing" to six lines reflecting his inner turmoil. The Mariner's punishment continues and due to romantic belief in a pantheistic ideal, he finds himself unable to pray. When Keats is away from Fanny, he sends her a letter stating that he "almost wishes they were butterflies"; Fanny responds by opening a butterfly farm in her and Toots' bedroom. Campion uses extremely close-up shots of a butterfly to depict the seemingly innocent nature and beauty of the task; however, Fanny's attempt to control nature by capturing it and using it to almost reenact Keats's words, proves to have a negative effect. After a very short period of time, some butterflies die and symbolically reflect Fanny's happiness as Keats writes to her of his failure and lack of financial stability. Campion uses a close-up to show the many dead butterflies being swept away; this suggests that his use of extreme close-up to present the living, vibrant butterfly was intended to reinforce the idea that controlling nature has more negative effects than positive ones. The similar shots to depict the destructive tendencies of nature and the negative effect that controlling nature can have are Campion's way of expressing the romantic sensibility through it.
