The Raven in Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven” is a symbolic metaphor for grief over the speaker's wife, but I also believe that the raven was real at some point in this speakers life. This particular raven maybe flew past the window and this delusional speaker himself saw it, because who would randomly think of a raven. At this time in this speakers life, he was beyond depressed maybe even going crazy, because the love of his life Lenore had passed.
The speaker believed someone was knocking on his door, but when he went to look and see who the visitor was late at night it turned out there was no one there. When he was standing at the door Lenore was said but not by him, even though I believe he is too delusional to recall is he said that
