What does the speaker of “The Raven” have in common with the poet Edgar Allan Poe?
oth the speaker and Poe suffered mental anguish and misery on losing their companions. Both the speaker and Poe believed that they interacted with a talking raven. Both the speaker and Poe lost a woman that they loved named Lenore. Both the speaker and Poe had become orphaned at a very young age.
thank you for providing the answer choices the main focus of the poem is the speaker mourning over Lenore which would point us towards either A or C as possible candidates (the narrator does not mention anything about orphaning, and there's no evidence that Poe actually interacted with a talking raven) doing a bit of research tells us that Lenore is a fictional character based on Poe's late wife Virginia Clemm. with that being said what might be the better choice between A and C?
