Periodicals and the novel became more popular as the powerful middle class began to read.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Literature and society go hand in hand. The novel became so popular among the middle class such that it was accepted as a genre and was prone to a lot of debate about society and its problems. Novels spoke extensively about topics like class, wealth and status.
Such novels were radical in nature and also challenged the existing scenario about such topics at that time too. Classical genres couldn’t come up with content which spoke about these topics, thus making the novel a popular genre.
The author decided to include this because it creates the ambiguity of what happened afterwards, symbolizing how readers have an ambiguous idea of how the author's friend died. The couplets in the poem represent the friendship, and in other forms of writing this syntax would not be possible.
Waver does not describe what it means to draw a conclusion.
