When the raven first taps at the chamber door in “the raven” by edgar allan poe, it is midnight. what is the speaker’s first reaction to the tapping?

he hopes that it is a “rare and radiant maiden.”

he believes it is lenore.

he suspects it is someone who is lost.

he thinks it is a visitor.

He thinks that it is a visitor! "tis some visitor"

in   ¨and yet the books¨   by czelaw miloz the tone is positive since it tells us that when we touch a book, it starts to live and the perspective is in the third person and turns once into the first person. in "the rhinoceros" by eugene ionesco the tone is illogical and absurd   and the perspective is in the third person since it is a play.

the answer is a.
