Answer:
The character that the speaker encounters is very ominous, as he states nothing but "Nevermore"
Explanation:
The raven, no matter what Mr. Poe says his only response seems to be "Nevermore". As stated in the 2nd stanza of page 4 "But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore." " As well as "Respite—respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." " In the 4th stanza of the same page.
Hope this helps!
