Which five words in this excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe create an ominous and spooky atmosphere? Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; —vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore— For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore— Nameless here for evermore.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Words such as 'bleak', 'dying', 'wrought', 'ghost', and 'sorrow' create an ominous and spooky atmosphere in "The Raven". These words have negative connotations, meaning that the words sound dark and frightening to the reader. For instance, if you wanted to create a spooky atmosphere in the following sentence, you might replace the verb with another word that has a more negative connotation. A chill passed through the room. A chill crept across the room. While both sentences mean essentially the same thing, the second sentence sounds scarier because the verb has a more negative connotation. Hope this helps!
