i can't quite remember what part it was, possibly 4, 5 or 6 but i am studying it in school (yr 9) and i thought i would say that when the albatross falls from his neck, it is a metaphor for his burden being lifted. the water-snakes are representing nature, and as the mariner begins to appreciate the water-snakes, he appreciates god's creatures. his guilt becomes remorse and he is starting to be forgiven. his burden is taken off him. obviously it is a physical burden but it is also a mental one as it represents his wrong-doing. hope that's any help! good luck :o)
