Review the following excerpt from Poe’s “The Raven.” "Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more" (Poe 118).

The bird perches on the bust of Pallas, the Greek goddess of wisdom. How is this a significant literary moment in Poe's poem?

Question 11 options:

It is a foreshadowing because ravens have been considered bad omens or signified coming death in art.

It is a metaphor because ravens have been compared with mystery and signify the unknown.

It is an allusion because ravens symbolized an insight into the future in Greek mythology.
