| Summary | "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe is a narrative poem written in the mid-19th century, specifically during the Romantic era. This iconic poem explores themes of loss, mourning, and the supernatural through its haunting portrayal of a man visited by a mysterious raven. The reader is drawn into a dark and melancholic atmosphere that reflects the protagonist's internal turmoil. The poem follows a weary scholar who is lamenting the loss of his beloved Lenore. As he seeks solace in his books one bleak December night, he is suddenly interrupted by a strange tapping. When he opens his chamber door, he finds only darkness, but soon a raven enters and perches above him, responding to his inquiries with the ominous word "Nevermore." As the narrator engages with the bird, he becomes increasingly disturbed by its presence and the repetitive message, which symbolizes his despair and hopelessness regarding his lost love. Ultimately, the raven's persistent refrain leaves him in a state of unresolved grief and despair, implying that he will never escape the shadow of loss.
