Answer 1

Explanation:

Edgar Alan Poe has used many literary elements in his artwork and one of them is rhyme, metaphor, alliteration, and repetition.

• Rhyme is one of the devices that surely can create sound effects in the poem. They are structuring the poem and they are giving the readers pleasing sound to the ear. Examples of it are words such as beams-dreams, chilling-killing, and the most important example is a sea, Lee, me which the readers can found as the last words of each stanza.

• Alliteration examples are: "love.... love..... love", sound-sea, sepulcher-sea and ''half so hay in heaven''
