I think the event of the game with the spirit;
In the stansa,”the naked hulk, alongside came
And the twain wer casting dice;
“The game is done!I’ve won!I’ve won!”
Quoth she, and whistles thrice.”

I think this is the most important event because it kind of explains what the game is about and she is extremely happy that she has won so I think it might be quite an important event.
I think the game is also about she is gambling with the”naked hulk” for the souls of the crew who died on the mariner’s ship.Therefore personally i think this is the most important stansa.

I chose the last stanza:

“Ah! well-a-day! What evil looks
Had i from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung.”

I chose this stanza because it powerfully closes up part 3 of the poem; iyt does this by saying it’s the end of a day that was a long tiring day, and then, it explains how he feels he has done wrong to himself and his crew by vcursing them by killing the Albatross. It also is a strong close because it symbolises the end of Jesus’ first life by saying:
“instead of ythe cross, the Albatross
about my neck was hung”
Which is a metaphor to what hes done against what humans have done.

I chose the phrase ‘we hailed it in gods name’

I chose it because it shows that they are relieved by god’s care for them because it symbolises good luck for sailors which is why i thought this line was significant.also this line tells us how they were feeling before the albatross came across
– terrified for their lives, which is what i interpreted from the sentence, because he hailed the bird as if he was saved.

This is also a great description of whats happening because they used ‘hailed’
and you hail a god, but this bird is christian, so it makes it more powerful in this instance.
