Which themes are addressed in this stanza from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe?

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

the choices are
a. evil
b. love
c. grief
e. hope
f. enmity

it could be more than one answer
