Which is the most plausible theme in "the raven"? a. grief never dies. b. there is life after death. c. people need friends. d. learning is paramount.

A. Grief never dies.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven" tells the story of how a late night visit by a raven led to the speaker/ protagonist/ narrator of the poem think about life. This visit by the bird also taught him the

The unnamed narrator was sitting fore-lorn when the "tapping at [his] door" began the tale of the night visit poem. The speaker was missing his love, Lenore who we came to know, had recently died. Throughout the poem, the narrator asked the raven different types of questions to which the bird seemed to reply "nevermore". The very last question that he asked is that whether he will ever see his love Lenore again, to which the bird again replied "Nevermore". The most plausible theme in this poem is that "Grief never dies", for we see that narrator was devastated by the death of Lenore. Not only that, when the raven replied "nevermore" to his question/ query, he got angry at the bird and even cursed it.

i would say that these are the two thesis statements best for a literary analysis essay on recurring themes in shakespeare's romeo and juliet:

1.  in romeo and juliet, shakespeare demonstrates that love comes in a variety of forms, be it romantic, familial, or between friends.

2.  shakespeare explores the struggle for identity through the character of juliet in his play romeo and juliet.

the other theses aren't reoccurring in this play.
