It also highlights the conflict between Christian structures and demonic forces. Killing the Albatross triggers the "transmogrification" of the Mariner. In other words, Rime turns into a story of death, darkness, and destruction, unlike the warm and welcome home before. Watkins states that the reversal occurs at this very moment and that "the conventional value system that gives coherence and meaning to the world that the Mariner left begins to be redefined." Watkins presents the Mariner as an agent of evil, as a demon and as a vampire, "the nature of this underworld is clearly seen in the Mariner's action of sucking his own blood...this world of total alienation from the resources of the life is increasingly self-consumption” (Watkins 27). Through suggestion, the Mariner systematically extinguishes the innocence and Christian values ​​of all who hear his tale by criticizing traditional notions of community. Watkins concludes that the Rime should be read as a response to the social unrest of the Romantic period and that the story actually manifests in the form of demons and is imperative in discerning the narrative elements of the Romantic period.
