    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…

Roger Chillingworth’s quest to find truth and his ability to “search into the minister’s … interior” parallels a leech’s need to extract blood…

    In Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven,” the narrator is subject to emotional and psychological effects of loneliness. In typical Poe fashion, this dark and haunting poem resonates with a reader. The sorrow of the narrator is felt through the words Poe has written and designates what I believe to be the lowest point of this man’s life. In essence, I can relate to the pain the narrator feels as I have lost loved ones throughout my life as well. Throughout this poem, Poe’s typically dark, mysterious,…
