B. Something is very wrong in Denmark.
- In Act 1 of the tragic play "Hamlet," by Shakespeare, the watchmen are discussing the appearance of a ghost.
- They want Horatio, Hamlet's best friend, to also see the ghost of the late king, which has now appeared a couple of nights in a row.
- Horatio doubts the men at first, but he too sees the ghost.

Words such as 'bleak', 'dying', 'wrought', 'ghost', and 'sorrow' create an ominous and spooky atmosphere in "The Raven". These words have negative connotations, meaning that the words sound dark and frightening to the reader. For instance, if you wanted to create a spooky atmosphere in the following sentence, you might replace the verb with another word that has a more negative connotation.
A chill passed through the room.
A chill crept across the room.
While both sentences mean essentially the same thing, the second sentence sounds scarier because the verb has a more negative connotation.
Hope this helps!
