Formulate an opinion about the two narrators in the poems. Consider things like: What are some of the reasons for the narrators laments and current state?  Is it unconscious grievance or even mental illness that drives the narrator of Ulalume to visit the grave site of his love one?  What are the distinct similarities between the two narrators?

State a thesis that can be supported by pointing to the poems.

Follow the instructions on the essay structure from Week 2.
