Question

What happens after the raven flies into the speaker’s room in “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe? Arrange the events in the correct order.

Answer 1

If you're on plato, the answer is:

1) The speaker watches as the raven flies in and perches on the bust of Pallas.

2)The speaker is amused by the royal appearance of the bird and asks the bird its name.

3)The speaker imagines that angels have arrived and spread perfume in the room.

4)The speaker asks the raven if he’ll ever get over the misery of losing his love Lenore.

5)The speaker wants to know if he’ll ever meet Lenore in Heaven.

6)The speaker gets angry at the raven and shouts at it to fly away.

7)The speaker feels like his soul is trapped in the raven’s shadow.

I got it right on the test.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

The Raven sits on the statue in his room and the speaker talks to it, asks it what its name is. The bird answers only - Nevermore. The man continues asking questions, they are becoming more and more private, and finally we see how desperate he is to find out where is Lenore, and whether he will see her again, and if death is the answer, so be it. The Raven however, doesn't change its answer, and the man starts losing his sanity. Finally, he loses it, having found out that what his heart desires will never become reality. He banishes the bird, wants it to leave, but the Raven only answers - Nevermore, meaning he is there to stay and never leave. The bird stays sitting on the bust of Pallas, like a demon looking over our hero, imprisoning him forever.
