i believe the setting tells us that the mariner is not only scared but petrified, we know this because he says is that a death and are there two. This tells us he could could be scared because we associate death with bad and scary. The mariner could Also be confused because when he says is that death?, there’s a question mark. This indicates he doesn’t really know what the person is therefore he could be confused
