Question

English help please

It was a rimy morning, and very damp. I had seen the damp lying on the outside of my little window, as if some goblin had been crying there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief.

What is the main effect of including the image of a goblin using a handkerchief in a dreary setting?

To suggest a possible theme to the tale

To create a sense of urgency in the narrator

To develop a tone of poverty to the story

To suggest an imaginative narrator

Answer 1

The last one makes the most sense to me.
