Lenore

evidence that he has. He has only little hope of seeing Lenore again, ‘‘as the ambers show in the fire’’ (63). He was also so ridden by fault that he was haunted by the image of her, the raven. Also, the raven states one word, "Nevermore"(47). This gives the implication that the narrator is being chastised for something that he did. His consequence is immortality, giving him the clarification of why he would on no occasion see Lenore once more. Lenore is punishing him for what he did to her.…

Although we never see Lenore and only hear about her death, it is evident that she plays a huge part in the story. In the beginning of the story, on page 312, the narrator, who can be seen as Edgar himself, is sitting in his room at midnight—restless. He pondered, weak and weary, of his lost Lenore. While thinking about Lenore, there is a tap on his chamber door. When he is able to bring himself to open the door, there is no one there. Desperate in hoping it is Lenore, which is impractical, he…

The man is grieving because of the loss of his lover, Lenore. In distraction of his grief, the speaker reads. As he reads, he falls half asleep. Suddenly he hears a knock at his chamber door. He grows afraid, but he then ceases his hesitation.

After he sees nothing he calls, “Lenore.” The darkness returns his echo, and he then proceeds…

It was a dark and bleak December, still or again, no one could tell. The only light in a small chamber was the slowly dying fire in the fireplace. People with terrible countenances stared from fading paintings on the walls covered in thick layer of dust. There was a strange feeling of emptiness in the room – no smells or sounds, everything seemed lifeless. Even deep winter seemed numb. The man was quietly sitting in his old and squeaking armchair and staring somewhere or nowhere with empty eyes.…

his late wife Lenore. I am sure that the narrator in the story was a very normal and happy man who used to love the life he lived. However, when his wife died, he might have sank so far into grief that he slowly started to slip away into madness. The raven flew into his room, and stayed perched in his room no matter what he tried to do.This raven could possibly represent the grief that the narrator feels and the darkness and loneliness he is feeling from losing his dear wife Lenore.

Most of Poe's works are dark in nature, just like this one. He begins the poem by stating that someone, Lenore, as died. Also that he is grieving over her death and misses her.
