Q1a.) I believe that the story is back at the wedding and the wedding guests is now discribing how he feels around the mariner. At times, the mariner will go back to his story.
Q1b.) “I fear thee, ancient mariner, I fear thy skinny hand! And thou art long, and lank, and brown, as is the ribbed sea hand.”
This is a discription made by the wedding guests. He is discribing how he is scared of the marine’s hand. The way he discribes him is how it looks and feels when he is touched by the mariner.
Q2.) I believe that the person talking is the wedding guest because he is now talking about the mariner.

Hello,
This show some understanding of the setting of the first two stanzas of this part of the poem.
Targets:
1) Each point could do with further development – give us a quotation and justify it – why have you chosen it? Remember to vary your vocabulary.
2) How and why has the poet manipulated time?
