The raven was talking which is part of Gothic literature. The main character was disturbed because of his dead wife, and he believes the raven is a vision or a sign about his wife. ]]> 2021-12-14 20:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948002788 Group 4 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948003251 In the beginning of the poem, the narrator was skeptical of the raven. As the poem goes on, he becomes more agitated, as each time the raven says, "Nevermore." ]]> 2021-12-14 20:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948003251 Group 3 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948005133 It connects to Gothic Literature because the raven speaking is supernatural. Ravens do not talk usually and it is not normal.]]> 2021-12-14 20:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948005133 Group 3 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948009944 The main character goes mad. The raven keeps repeating the same phrase "Nevermore" over and over again until he went insane. Then he tries to knock down the raven with objects because he is mad at the raven.]]> 2021-12-14 20:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948009944 Group 4 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948010811 The bird could've been a hallucination to the narrator. The scenery was a dark, gloomy, and in a chamber. He uses personification to create a feeling of threat. The bird was talking to the Narrator, which is why we thought it might've been a hallucination. ]]> 2021-12-14 20:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948010811 Group 2 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948012735 The scenery was dark and spooky. The raven talking was supernatural. The man was grieving and distressed over his dead wife. ]]> 2021-12-14 20:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948012735 Group 1 https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948013765 "Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!” —
[30]
Merely this and nothing more."

He is insane because he is dreaming about his dead wife. he also get angry because the bird says "and never more" because he is taking about his dead wife that he will never see.

The raven keeps on reminding him that his wife is dead.
“Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting —
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!"

The Narrator loses his mind due to the death of his wife.]]> 2021-12-14 20:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gracelee17/b0ddk3xup686ljvy/wish/1948024973
