Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is It shows how the narrator tries to calm himself of the fear he feels.

Explanation:

The narrator in the poem The Raven is completely scared.

What he does throughout the poem is to deny what he does not want to accept, which is the fact that he has lost his great love Lenore.

His great fear is that, he has to accept that he will never see his beloved again and that she is gone forever.

When the narrator begins to speak, although he is speaking only because there is no other person there, what he is really doing is trying to calm himself down, and trying to silence that thought that he does not want to hear, but that he knows is there.
