Ravenburg: A Fictional Narrative

Decent Essays
They walked down the cobblestone and Rory realized that this place his father called Ravenburg was a very odd mix of modern, magic, and medieval. The building were all old brick and stone and there were little pop up booths that covered the sides of the street.

The cobble street in question was very bumpy and jagged and his father was walking very quickly, the speed at which he was moving made it a difficulty for his to keep up. As he walked people in the road would part for his father and stare at him as if Rory was an mistake in a world that was perfect. From what he had seen so far this world was much more perfect than his

The young man claims not to be “crazy” but the reader should question his reasoning. The old man has the eye of a raven which drives the young man nearly insane.…

The bird in this poem may seem real but there are many signs that it is not.…

    Edgar Allen Poe was and is a famous American writer who typically wrote short stories and poems; Poe’s works are usually gothic (a sub category of Romanticism, which focuses on uncertainty and dark elements) and are often told by a narrator. Narrators in short stories, poems, or other literary works often unwittingly tell the audience quite a lot about themselves through their word choices, and their mood which can make them unreliable narrators; this is especially true in Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven”. When reading “The Raven” it becomes apparent that the narrator (whom we do not know the name of) feels paranoid, melancholic, and even guilty of the loss of someone dear to him that had happened prior to the poem; and that the narrator seems to want to continue to feel dreadful and guilty which causes him to be an unreliable narrator. This is shown through the narrator’s unstable mental state, the poem’s unusual rhyme scheme, and the narrator’s guilt. I will argue throughout this essay that the narrator’s quick descent into insanity…

    As Edgar Allan Poe wrote “The Raven”, he employed life events, as well as symbolism to mold the plot line. After an initial skim of the poem, the reader may believe that this is nothing more than a scary story to tell around Halloween time. At a second glance, it is revealed that “The Raven” is strung together by many life events, symbolisms, and emotions that are haunting in their own beautiful way. Upon looking at the rhetorical situation of it, the reader can get a better understanding of the poem’s true purpose. The setting, characters, and descriptive words Poe applied throughout his works are what give them a dark, mysterious tone.…
