2. Read the following excerpt from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven":

1 answer:

3 0

The use of rhyme and repetition in "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe, are meant to affect the reader in the following way:

It causes the reader to sense how desperate and devastated the speaker is.

Since the raven is a symbol of death and loneliness, as well as of a somber state of mind, the speaker wants it to leave his house. The presence of the animal affects the speaker in an unbearable way, since it reminds him of the loss of his significant other.

The rhymes make it for a feeling of frantic desperation, whereas the repetition, particularly "nothing more" and "nevermore", shows how strongly mourning affects the speaker, how devastated he is.

We can see how badly the speaker wants the bird to leave in the following passage:

"Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my

door!"

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

2(a) analyze how complex characters advance the plot. In part 1, Oedipus is shown to have a quick temper, meaning that he gets a

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Oedipus is intensely angry when he kills his biological father and when he fights with Creon and Teiresias for giving him bad news.

Explanation:

Oedipus has difficulties in controlling his emotions, especially anger. That's because he is a person with an explosive temperament, who can't handle solving intrigues with ease and who expresses himself with violence. This personality trait not only leaves Oedipus a very intense character, but also leaves him a real person who often does not act rationally, being totally controlled by anger, leaving his story totally unpredictable.

Oedipus' anger may be exaggerated for us, but it was a common feature for the Greek society that created this play. That's because the Greeks at that time lived in a very violent time with several invasions and stress. Watching a character unleash his anger in a grandiose way could be somewhat comfortable for the Greeks.
