-by edgar allan poe
-summary:"the raven" follows an unnamed narrator who sits reading to forget the loss of his love, lenore. a "rapping at the chamber door reveals nothing, but excites his soul to "burning". later, when he goes to investigate, a raven steps into his chamber. paying no attention to the man, the raven perches on a bust of pallas.
amused by the raven's comically serious disposition, the man demands that the bird tell him its name. the raven's only answer is "nevermore".the narrator is surprised that the raven can talk, though it says nothing further. the narrator remarks to himself that the raven will fly out of his life, just as "other friends had" along with his previous hopes but the raven stays. the narrator reasons that the bird learned the word "nevermore" from some "unhappy master".
even so, the narrator is determined to learn more about it. he thinks for a moment, not saying anything, but his mind wanders back to his lost lenore.the narrator becomes angry, calling the raven a "thing of evil" and a "prophet". as he yells at the raven it only responds, "nevermore". finally, he asks the raven whether he will be reunited with lenore in heaven. when the raven responds with its typical "nevermore", he shrieks and commands the raven to leave.the narrator's final admission is that his soul is trapped beneath the raven's shadow and shall be lifted "nevermore".
-theme: he doubted the truth,that his lenore was gone, but learned to accept it, even though it was difficult to swallow.
-symbols: raven symbolizes "mournful and never-ending remembrance" |
