The answer is B. Poe composed the sonnet as a story, without purposefully making a moral story or falling into instruction. The primary topic of the ballad is one of undying dedication. The storyteller encounters an unreasonable clash between want to overlook and want to recall. He appears to get some joy from concentrating on misfortune. The storyteller expect that "Nevermore" is the raven's "just stock and store", and, yet, he keeps on making inquiries, realizing what the appropriate response will be.
