Read the first stanza from "the raven." once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore– while i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'tis some visitor," i muttered, "tapping at my chamber door– only this and nothing more." which best describes the scene that the author is setting through the use of imagery in the stanza? the speaker is up late at night reading and hears a knocking sound. the speaker is sleeping and is awakened by someone calling to him. the speaker is reading a ghost story and imagines that he sees a ghost. the speaker is napping and does not hear a visitor who taps on the door.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting?

(how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
