Explanation:

In the narrative poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, the speaker/ narrator of the poem is in heartbreaking and lonely mood, who was still in the mourning phase of his life. He was in "sorrow for the lost Lenore" who had died recently, leaving him devastated and unable to move on.

The visit by the raven at night makes him more distraught, continuously thinking of his Lenore and if by any chance, there is "a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore". He could not stop thinking about his lost love. Thus, the character of Lenore is the speaker's lover who had died recently.

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
