Poe, utilises various literary devices and effects, such as repetition to maintain the atmosphere of grief, in a manner similar to that which a ballad would employ, and the voice of an unreliable narrator in his poem to reveal with each subsequent stanza the speaker’s instability, and perhaps even insanity, through an illustration of his…
