Question

(Will mark if correct only) In The Raven, what most closely does the raven perching on the bust of Pallas

Answer 1

Answer:

C.) That nature powers over the strongest of human knowledge.

Explanation:

Poe incorporated the bust of Athena into "The Raven" because "Pallas" roughly translates into maiden. The narrator describes Lenore as a "rare and radiant maiden". I believe that the bust if Athena"(bust of Pallas) is a reminder of Lenore. It is important that the raven is perched on the bust because Pallas Atgena was a Greek goddess of wisdom, and it suggest that the bird itself may be wise.
