The raven was a very symbolic ghost story/poem written. The sounds of the tapping on his door and the wind rustling fear him for the slightest Ā but. He calls out wondering and asking who is out there , he yells out āLenoreā who is someone he lost. That shows heās still in grief about the absence of his loved one. The one word that stood out more throughout the whole poem is ānever moreā the raven was a sign that could be interpreted in many different ways. Ā The narrator usesĀ similar words. The birdās ānevermoreā is to the narratorās Ā ānothing more,ā except that he used ānothing moreā to assert rationality, while the birdās ānevermoreā was exactly the opposite.

Domanique–
Poe is not his own genre (though one miiigghht be able to make that argument, it’s not your job here). What do you want to focus on? Ghost stories, maybe? Fairy tales? Gothic poetry? Do some research around these different genres and commit to one. See me if I can help!
