Question

Find 3-5 literary devices in this stanza please

Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore?" I
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"
Merely this and nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me.

Answer 1

Alliteration, repetition, internal rhyme, end rhyme, assonance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Literary devices are the different elements and techniques that a writer used in his/ her work. Such devices provide more body and color to the work.

In the given lines of poetry from "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, the literary devices that are used are alliteration, internal rhyme, end rhyme, assonance, repetition, etc.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same letters of the words continuously. "doubting, dreaming dreams . . . dared to dream..."

Repetition is the use of the same words in close quarters. "dreaming dreams. . . dreams..."

Internal rhyme is when there are rhyming words in a single line of poetry. "unbroken/ token".

End rhyme is when the end words of the lines rhyme with each other. "Lenore?/ Lenore!"

Assonance is when the vowel sounds are repeated in a line of poetry. The sounds of 'o' and 'ee' in the line "dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before".
