On the final night, the narrator cannot sleep because
he is worried about a coming storm
Usher wants to read him a favorite book
He is nervous and hears unfamiliar sounds
The darkness of the house frightens him
The speaker in The Raven is upset about losing a
book
loved one
bird
statue
To explain the noise at the door, the speaker
concludes that a servant needs help
guesses that a bird is in the hall
assumes he has a visitor
imagines Lenore speaking
The raven enters the speaker's room and sits on
a bust of a Greek Goddess
the edge of the door
the arm of the chair
a purple curtain
What does the speaker imagine after the raven first speaks
hearing tapping
seeing Lenore
drinking deeply
smelling incense
The speaker tells the raven to leave because the bird
says that the speaker will never see Lenore again
tells the speaker that he will die very soon
speaks about the ruler of the underworld
tries to push the speaker out of the room
Where is the raven at the end of the poem?
outside the speaker's house in a storm
on the bust above the speaker's door
near the speaker's velvet chair
ashore on the deserted island
You can make the inference that the speaker hates the raven because the speaker
says that the raven really is the devil
builds a trap to capture the bird
leaves the room and never comes back
blames the bird for his loss of hope
What is causing the deaths of people across the country in the story
a long war
a mental illness
a terrible disease
an unknown force
Prince Prospero protects his friends by
locking them in his home
killing all intruders
fanning them with fresh air
placing guards outside
The person who causes the commotion within the party is dressed as
Prince Prospero's dead body
the dead King Herod
the Greek image of death
a victim of the Red Death
The party may be an allegory for extravagance to show the moral lesson that
large costume parties make people forget death
death comes for the wealthy as well as the poor
costumes can greatly affect the mood of a party
only wealth can keep a person safe from illness
While Mr. Hooper gives a sermon on concealed sin, the parishioners
feel he is looking into their souls
strain to hear his muffled voice
wondered what sin he has committed
think about their neighbor's sins
Elizabeth feels she should know about Mr. Hooper's veil because she is
living in the village
leading a church group
engaged to Mr. Hooper
concerned with his wealth
When the townspeople react to Mr. Hooper's veil, he
smiles sadly
yells at them
seeks them out
stays at home
