Edgar Allan Poe's Opinion Of The Raven

The raven in the famous book by Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven, is completely imaginary in my opinion. The way he portrays it the raven is almost ghostly and all in the narrator's head. The bird starts to talk in this poem, which is impossible for a “raven” to do. The raven also is personified and twisted with words by Edgar to make it seem like the burden of his loss Lenore that lives with him every day. The bird is not real in this poem and is just simply a figment of Edgars imagination.

The bird talks in this poem. This is clearly impossible for a raven to do, so that is the first clue that the bird is a figment of his imagination and is clearly not ream. An example from the text is when the author claims “Quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore’”.
