He here's many things, but they are only that, "nothing more". Later on he becomes more crazy, paranoid, that there are more things there than there actually is.]]> 2021-12-14 17:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947569885 Group 3 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947572747 As the poem continues, the speaker becomes more angry at the raven. Each time it says "nevermore", the speaker is driven more and more insane.]]> 2021-12-14 17:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947572747 group 2 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947573674 The writer starts off not liking the raven but his hate grows as he loses patients with the raven. ]]> 2021-12-14 17:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947573674 Group 2 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947577897 The element for this poem could be visions, as the writer looses sanity being stuck with the raven. He could be hallucinating what the raven is saying to him. ]]> 2021-12-14 17:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947577897 Group 1 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947581028 It connects to gothic literature by metonymy of gloom and horror (9). The place is describe as dark and quiet, there's ominous knocking at doors, scratching at the window, the noise of the wind and rain.]]> 2021-12-14 17:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947581028 Group 3 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947581317 It is connected to gothic literature through "Supernatural and other inexplainable events" because of the talking raven, only able to say "Nevermore". Also the raven understands the speaker because it responds with "nevermore" after the speaker asks a question or makes a statement to him.]]> 2021-12-14 17:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947581317 Group 4 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947584173 At the beginning the narrator doesn't take the raven seriously. near the end the narrator tends to get more paranoid, and begins to descend into madness due to the ravens presence intensifying the scene compared to how it actually was.]]> 2021-12-14 17:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947584173 Group 2 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947590122 "And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor" The writer almost gets angry with himself because the Raven wasn't actually saying anything to him. So everything happening was really just going through his head.

He says, “Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil! — prophet still, if bird or devil!"
 He falls apart over this bird, yelling at how he doesn't know if it's the devil or not, even though it's probably just a bird.

Merely this and nothing more." The speaker is going crazy by hearing things of his wife that aren't there. ]]> 2021-12-14 17:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947601387 Group 4 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947602716 Connects to the gothic literature because of the atmosphere as the poem say that the narrator is his chamber, and during a midnight dreary connecting to dark tones that gothic literature usually has. Also connects to women in distress but in the poem its the narrator that's in distress because of the raven being there making him slowly go into madness.]]> 2021-12-14 17:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947602716 Group 4 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947618153 The narrator begins to see that the bird as a devil because of him spiraling into madness shown in the poem “Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil! — prophet still, if bird or devil!" showing that he gone mad and is explored because he see a raven as a devil saying "never more" making him go mad but in reality it's just a raven.]]> 2021-12-14 17:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/2g6zbq4w4f3lzoz5/wish/1947618153
