Question

What is one way in which Edgar Allan Poe creates a unity of effect on longing in the Raven

Answer 1

The longing effect is represented with the repetition of the word "nevermore."

Step-by-step explanation:

In the narrative poem, "The Raven," the longing effect is represented with the repetition of the word "nevermore." The raven, although he has a limited vocabulary, that word forces the man to face the fact that his love Lenore will not return. The repetition of the raven's answer leaves him heartbroken and anguished every time. "Nevermore" represents melancholy and longing throughout the poem.

Answer 2

If you had shared the options It would have been much easier for me to answer in suitable form for you. But actually I have got the answer and do hope it could help you. I am more than sure that the repetition of "nevermore" creates a unity of effect on longing. The only word that Rave knows and uses all the time to respond is "nevermore" so that it gives a circular sense to the poem.
