What effect does rhyme have in “The Raven”?

English

jeka57 [31]3 years ago

Proceeding from the assumption that repeating something enhances both the effect and the importance of the statement, the repetition of "nevermore" reiterates the grief, despair and fatalistic hopelessness of the speaker in the poem.

I am from a school of literary criticism that doesn't concern itself much with the "intended effect" of an author. However, the mournful refrain of nevermore seems to serve both literary purposes (it is a device in the rhyme scheme) within the structure of the poem, as well as reiterate the central themes of the poem: alienation, grief, despair, hopelessness and ultimately, death.

galben [10]

Answer:

Question 1.

The text from "After Twenty Years" that provides the best evidence that "Silky Bob" is surprised that his friend is now a policeman is:

'You’ve changed lots, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall by two or three inches.'

Question 2:

This conversation is the climax of the story because:

The characters reach a turning point in the action when Bob is arrested.

Question 3:

The statement that best explains O. Henry's choice to have Jimmy write the note to Bob is:

It provides the reader with insight into Jimmy's character and illustrates how different the two men are after twenty years.

Question 4:

How O. Henry crafts "After Twenty Years" to create surprise is:

He conceals information about Jimmy until the end of the story.

Question 5:

The statement that best explains how the author's use of foreshadowing affects the story is:

It provides important information about the setting, showing that this area is being well-protected by a keen policeman.

Explanation:

The eventual meeting of two former childhood friends at an agreed spot in New York City was a short story by O. Henry to narrate how the two men had grown apart "After Twenty Years."  One of the friends, Bob, who was trying to become rich, had instead become a crook and a wanted man by the Chicago Police, while the other, Jimmy, had grown unrecognizably taller and become a dutiful New York City police officer.
