In "The Raven," the speaker’s behavior toward the raven reveals a lot about his character. Which two characteristics of his character do we see exhibited in the poem as he talks to the raven? Insanity and Glee

Trust and Depression

Desperation and Hope

Sadness and Detachment

i believe the answer is perspective

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
