Marianna Dawson · Answer 1

C. Former love.

Explanation:

In Edgar Allen Poe's poem "Annabel Lee", his last poem to be published before his death, he once again talks about the death of a beautiful young woman who seemed to be romantically associated with the speaker in the poem. Seemingly narrated by the lover of the late Annabel Lee, the speaker talks of how their love was as strong as the woman was.

Lines 5 and 15 reads-

"And this maiden she lived with no other thought"

"A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling"

addressed about the dead Annabel Lee. By the tone of the whole poem, we can deduce that the subject and objective of the poem is about his late / former lover Annabel Lee.
