The Raven Essay
"The Raven" is a magnificent piece by a very well known poet from the 19th century, Edgar Allan
Poe. Poe was well known for his dark and haunting poetry. Along with writing poetry, Poe was also
recognized for his Gothic–style short stories. "The Raven" is one of Poe's greatest accomplishments
and was even turned into recitals and numerous television appearances. "The Raven" tells a story
about an unnamed narrator whose beloved Lenore has left him. A raven comes at different points
throughout the poem and tells the narrator that he and his lover are "Nevermore." Poe presents the
downfall of the narrator's mind through the raven and many chilling events. By thorough review and
studying of Edgar Allan Poe's work, one can fully understand the...show more content...
Lenore's absence also furthers to another absence that mimics the human's incapability to know
and understand what is happening (Freedman). Along with darkness, Poe uses a vivid language
to achieve his single effect. Poe arranges time, place, and other details rapidly and clearly. He
chooses each word carefully and requires that its meaning relates to the poem as a whole. Stanza 2
enhances and distinguishes the vivid effect Poe has already made ("Edgar Allan Poe" 52). "The

that haunt the speaker are mostly unavoidable circumstances of the language that Poe chooses. Poe
uses phrases such as "dying embers," "Midnight dreary," and "in bleak December" to agonize and
satiate the reader's view of the setting. These carefully chosen words assume intriguing and
fascinating shapes and forms in the poem. These opening pictures help draw the readers into the
speaker's deteriorating mind. The tone of the poem is appropriate and well chosen for the subject,
and the rhythm is also exquisite. Poe, with this tone and rhythm, uses wild but also tender
melancholy in his lines. Mr. Willis claims "It is the most effective single example of fugitive poetry
ever published in this country, and unsurpassed in English poetry for subtle conception, masterly
ingenuity of versification,
