How do the allusions, or references, made to Pallas (Athena) and Pluto (Hades) inform the character of
the raven?
A These allusions make the raven seem
otherworldly and informs his symbolic nature as
a possible messenger from the afterlife.
B These allusions imply that the raven is far more
powerful than it at first seems and it is there to
cast judgement on the speaker.
C These allusions contribute to the raven's
characterization as the speaker's punishment, as
classical gods were often seen as cruel and
petty.
D These allusions remind the reader that the
speaker is mentally unbalanced and mistaking a
raven for a god.
