The things that the ship did were magical. Every March on one certain day, the ship would come and it never made a sound even when it crashed. Nobody of the village heard any noise from the ship when it crashed. It always came at night and would disappear when the beam of the light from the Colonial city hit it. The boy told to his mother about an incidence but she could not believe it. She thought that he was going to be out of mind or crazy.
Since, the death of his father, his mother spent most of the time sitting on an old chair. She took a small boat to go to the place where she could buy a new chair. The people in the village threw the chair into the sea by thinking that it was the symbol of death.
On the same night after a few years the boy was watching the sea in the month of March.

One year later, in March the boy takes a stolen boat to get near and was closer to it which did not have any light. So, the boy lit light on the boat which followed a red lantern and turn into a real ship. The ship looked magical as the boy described as “The largest ocean liner in this world, it was whiter than any thing, twenty times taller than the steeple and some ninety sever times longer than the village.” When the ship got close to the village, it blew with its loud whistle. All the people of the village got up because of the loud noise. The ship came onto the ground and stopped moving in front of the church. Now, the villagers believed that the boy was true.

A single ray of light shines out on the eyes of old man which are wide open. When he sees the eyes he is caught by the nervous disease. He decided to strike and chop up the body and he does. When he kills the old man, the pieces of the body are kept under the floor board.

They visited around the house and even entered into the room where the crime was performed but unable to find any sign of the crime. They suspect nothing.
The narrator, however, begins to hear a faint noise. As the noise grows louder the narrator comes to the conclusion that it is the heartbeat of the old man coming from under the floor board. The sound increases, though the officers seem to pay no attention. Because of the constant beating of the heart, he thinks that the officers are too aware of the sound. The narrator confesses the crime of killing the old man and tells the police officers that to tear up the floor board to conquer the body. At last he tells the police his secret of killing the old man.
Thus, the story shows the struggle between imagination and signs. In the story, the old man represents the scientific rational mind and the narrator is the imaginative.

Full Fathom Five Thy Father Lie
FULL FATHOM FIVE THY FATHER LIE
The poem “Full fathom five thy father lie” was written by a well known remarkable English poet, known as the father of English drama, William Shakespeare. This poem is adopted from his play “The tempest, act first scene two.” This song is sung by the spirit Ariel to Ferdinand, the prince of Naples, who mistakenly thinks his father, is drowned thirty feet down from the surface.
The spirit Ariel sings the song not to be worried to the death of father because his death is not simple in the sense that his bones are changed into coral and the eyes into pearls. Nothing of him has been decayed. His death brought the sea into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs are ringing his knell. The sound of the bell is Ding-Dong.
