"The Raven" is a poem written by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in January 1845. The poem is often well-known for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a troubled lover, sketching the man's fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven seems to further distress the protagonist with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references. In his Poem The Raven, like in most of his work, Poe depicts horror and a sense of schizophrenia, but his short story deals primarily with the psychology of guilt.

The underlined phrase is an example of this poetic device:

C. Alliteration

Hello there,

I believe that your correct answer would be "pacing".

The reason why I say that "pacing" would be your correct answer is because the word "pacing" allow for the author to pull event's and drag them in the story for the story to have more of a story. Your answer would NOT be "flashback" because a "flashback" is when the author identifies the past tense of the story. The option "foreshadowing" would NOT be your answer because "foreshadowing" is something that would happen in the future that the author is explaining. Your answer would NOT be "conflict" because a "conflict" is a problem that is arousing. There is no problem that is arousing. Your CORRECT answer would be "Pacing".

Hope this helps.
