What is the effect of the poetic form used in "The Raven"? The consistent length of each stanza makes the
events in the poem predictable.
The repeated final sounds in the last three lines of
each stanza provides a familiar cadence to the
poem
The use of regular meter in the lines of the poem
helps create suspense.
The refrain, set off on a single line by itself at the
of each stanza, strengthens the emphasis of those
words.
