The raven remains sitting. He overshadows the narrator, whose soul will never see happiness again.
<span>Analysis: </span>Boo! Hoo! Get a gun and shoot that freaking bird already! The raven's shadow most likely symbolizes sadness. It covers the narrator's soul, symbolic of the narrator never being happy again. Some claim the last stanza relates the narrator's death. They're wrong. The shadow remains on the floor and It's the narrator's soul that will never climb out from under the shadow of sadness. If your teacher tells you he died, tell him he's wrong. If he disagrees, ask him how a dead man can narrate a poem.
The wife of Bath in Chaucer's tale makes good use of suspense to build her tale. Her narration may seem to meander, but all elements are essential to her tale. She first presents mern's impatience, both in the friar's complaint and in the lusty knight's behavior toward the maiden whom he rapes. The Queen works further on his patience by giving him a year and a day to find the answer to her question. Also, the wife's introduction about the existence of fairies during the reign of King Arthur prepares us for the magical transformation of the old woman at the end of the story. Next comes a lengthy description of women's desires and faults, and again the reader is taken to a magical real through the narration of Ovid's fable. The old woman the knight meets provides him the answer to the Queen's question but agan applies suspense by withholding her request until it can be witnessed by all the ladies gathered in court. After the wedding, the old woman replies to the knight's protests regarding their marriage. It appears that the knight must resign himself to be wedded to this old, ugly woman; but then she surprises him by asking him to choose between having a beautiful or a faithful wife; he puts himself under her rule by asking her to make the choice, and thus the old woman proves the truth of her answer to the Queen's question and rewards her husband's humbleness by becoming beautiful and remaining a faithful wife.

Answer:
The speaker shows how in the eighth month of waiting, she is sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs, as this reinforces the idea of loneliness that she feels.
Explanation:
"Changgan Memories" by Li Po is a poem about a young couple who had to split up after two years of marriage. The speaker of the poem is the wife who lives lonely and sad waiting for her husband to return. At every moment, the loneliness she feels becomes more intense, reaching the point that everything she looks at reminds her husband is far away.
After waiting for her husband for eight months, she feels sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs through the garden. The butterflies seem happy with each other's company, it makes her feel more sad and lonely. This can be seen by the lines:<em> "And now, in the Eighth-month, yellowing butterflies/ Hover, two by two, in our west-garden grasses/ And, because of all this, my heart is breaking."</em>
