In the poem Annabel Lee what does the rhyme scheme reveal about the speaker? A The rhyme scheme, as it is very basic and inconsistent, reveals little about the speaker but does suggest he may be an unreliable narrator. B The end rhyme scheme is simple and mostly involves words rhyming with Annabel "Lee"; this suggests the speaker is trying to recreate a childish rhyme, to draw attention to his youth. C The end rhyme scheme is simple and mostly involves words rhyming with Annabel "Lee"; this suggests that the speaker is still very focused on his relationship with Annabel, and she is never far from his mind.* D The rhyme scheme mostly relies on internal rhyme (for example, "Chilling and killing" in Line 26); this suggests that the speaker has been bottling up his grief since his childhood and he can barely speak of his pain.

Answer: The correct answer is option C. The end rhyme scheme is simple and mostly involves words rhyming with Annabel "Lee"; this suggests that the speaker is still very focused on his relationship with Annabel, and she is never far from his mind.

Explanation: Annabel Lee is a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe, and published by John Sartain in 9th of October, 1849. It was the last complete poem written by Edgar before his death.

Edgar used the rhyme "ee" in the poem to express his love towards Annabel Lee, and how deep he still loves her even after her death. Edgar described Annabel to be a beautiful woman, and has adored her in the poem by concentrating most of his wordings to rhyme with her name. This shows that he still has Annabel in his mind.
