Edgar Allen Poe uses repetition to show the man going crazy hee says “Nevermore” to show his subconscious. This shows the man going insane he is annoyed because his subconscious is telling him no over and over again. Every time he thinks it is Lenore who is dead he questions if it is her. He knows she is dead and asking if she is a live in some way and his subconscious once again just says nevermore. He doesn’t listen to his subconscious says no, but he does not care to listen. The author Edgar Allen Poe goes on to use alliteration to stress the man going crazy by saying “And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain.” The s sounds in the line are alliteration and are showing the man is hearing things that are not there.
