Question 2 • 130CR English 3
Poe repeats “Annabel Lee” and “kingdom by the sea,” reinforcing the poem’s focus on the beloved and the setting. “Annabel Lee,” “sea,” and “me” rhyme, linking the speaker, his beloved, and the sea through sound. In “can ever dissever my soul from the soul,” repeated s sounds and related vowel sounds create alliteration and assonance; “Annabel Lee” and “sea” share a rhyme, not consonance.
