Answer: A) A sarcastic superhero directly addresses the audience to make fun of the other characters
Answer: They speak of mourning lost love.
Explanation:
These two excerpts are from the two poems of Edgar Allan Poe - first one being<em> "Annabel Lee"</em>, and the second one <em>"the Raven"</em>.
A theme that is explored in both of the poems is the theme of lost love. The speaker from<em> Annabel Lee</em> describes a painful memory of his long-lost love. Annabel Lee and the speaker both lived <em>"in a kingdom by the sea" </em>where they fell in love. They were happy together, until <em>" the wind came out of the cloud by night, chilling and killing my Annabel Lee." </em>In this particular excerpt, the speaker describes the strength of their love. Similarly, in <em>the Raven</em>, the speaker also deals with a loss - of his<em> "lost Lenore"</em>. Throughout the poem, the speaker wants to mourn all by himself, but is interrupted by a strange guest - the raven that can speak.
