What ways does Geror Allan Poe in the raven create mood in the opening stanza?

Answer 1

"The Raven" is a dark poem, taking place in a dark room, on a dark night. Obviously, because the essence and aura of death is scattered throughout this poem, the decorations, as described, make this poem. Poe describes a bust of Pallas(Pallas Athena), indicating wisdom. Poe elaborates on the violet velvet, and purple curtains, as purple signifies nobility and bravery. However, as the narrator is confronted in his room by this evil bird, the mood of the poem returns to a dark, creepy, tense feeling.

Answer 2

In the opening stanza of "The Raven," Edgar Allan Poe creates a dark and eerie mood through the use of alliteration, assonance, and repetition. The choice of words like "midnight dreary," "weak and weary," and "forgotten lore" helps to establish a sense of gloom and despair, setting the tone for the rest of the poem. Additionally, the repetitive refrain of "Nevermore" adds to the haunting atmosphere by creating a sense of inevitability and foreboding.

Answer 3
