    One literary device in the poem is symbolism. Symbolism is the practice of using a word to represent an idea. There are several symbols in the poem “The Raven”, but the main symbol is the raven itself. The Raven symbolizes the man’s memories of his wife, Lenore. The bird stands as a memory of his loneliness and misery. When the bird said “nevermore” it was more effective than the human saying it. The raven represents evil and death.…

    Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven builds suspense in numerous ways. One way that it builds suspense is that it takes place at midnight in December after the loss of his love Lenore. Then we hear "a rapping on the door" without anyone there. Even when the Raven does appear we are left to wonder if the Raven represents something different and if it is really there. He goes on to have a conversation with a bird which builds the suspense even more because bids can't talk and it suggests that he may be going…

    By the author "The Tell Tale Heart," "The Raven" is similarly a long piece of writing, but not as long, and gloomy. Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart" is about how he becomes so insane and paranoid that he kills an old man just because his one creepy blue eye reminded him of a vulture. Thus, here, Poe's paranoia for birds and their negative symbolism is also evident. In the end, Poe cuts the man into pieces and hides him cunningly. When the police come, he seems perfectly innocent, but then Poe hallucinates and believes to hear the heart thudding. He ends up admitting his guilt to the police. This theme of realization of either reality or the truth is evident in The Raven also.…

    She is the spyglass, the character that binds the past to the present as well as the future. Her innocence and lack of understanding of her visions give it a desperation and ache that Raven had felt once the encounters of the two worlds set up a racial border (Aurylaite, 2007).…

    Raven was an incredible animal to the Native North American Inuit culture; he was extremely symbolic in many ways. One of the most important things Raven could do was transform; he was the barrier of magic to many, being able to transform could bring happiness to everyone. The Inuit culture believed that Raven could heal many due to his magic and great level of intelligence. Raven is the keeper of secrets, and can assist the Inuit people in finding their own hidden thoughts. Raven is also amazing for being able to keep track of ancestral memories and with his intelligence be able to tell the stories back to younger generations. The Inuit people recognize that everything in the universe holds a deeper meaning, as a result, all objects and beings deserve one's attention and respect. As Samuel Wilson mentioned in Trickster Treats “Trickster tales often serve to entertain and instruct children, teaching them how to behave and how the world works” (pg.1). When a child learns how the world works, it will expand their knowledge. In fact, the Inuit culture looked at raven as being a culture hero more then they looked at him being a “selfish buffoon”.…

    “The Raven” is an exploration into the loneliness, despair, and insanity associated with the loss of a loved one. Through the clever use of structure, repetition and symbolism Edgar Allan Poe manages to draw us into this feeling of morbid despair and with every use of the haunting refrain “nevermore” upon which the chilling cadence of this poem is built Poe transforms a story steeped in sorrow into a tale of supernatural fear and insanity as only he can.…

    The Raven: A Close Reading

    • 2241 Words
    • 9 Pages

    The entire poem including the first stanza, as scanned here, is octametre with mostly trochaic feet and some iams. The use of a longer line enables the poem to be more of a narration of the evening's events. Also, it enables Poe to use internal rhymes as shown in bold. The internal rhyme occurs in the first and third lines of each stanza. As one reads the poem you begin to expect the next rhyme pushing you along. The external rhyme of the "or" sound in Lenore and nevermore at then end of each stanza imitates the haunting nature of the narrator's thoughts. The internal rhyme along with the same external rhyme repeated at the end of each stanza and other literary devices such as alliteration and assonance and give the poem a driving chant-like sound. The musicality of the rhyme also helps one to memorize the poem. This helps keep the poem in your head after you've finished reading it, lingering in your thoughts just as the narrator's thoughts are haunting him. The rhyme also helps to produce a humming beat in the readers mind driving him on steadily..…

    The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe is a riveting and suspenseful poem. The diction used by Poe is dark and dreary. ‘This, combined with open ended sentences such as “Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing.” (181) creates suspense in the reader's mind by making the scene seem indefinite and bleak.’ Mystery is a major contributor to a suspenseful theme. By asking questions and delaying answers, suspense is injected into the literature. Poe uses lines such as “But whose velvet-violet lining with the lamp light gloating o’er, she shall press, ah, nevermore.” (183)…

    Within the story, when the Speaker shrieks in frustration and doom toward the Raven, the Speaker describes the Raven’s reaction to such event. The Speaker says, “And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting”(Poe 103). So as a result, the Raven’s uncertain behavior, that being not frightened, led to the belief that the Speaker is imagining the Raven’s behavior. The Speaker then falls into more despair and doom due to what he imagines is even more upsetting and puts him in a darker mood. Overall, the Speaker is extremely out of place which leads him to see things that he wish he never had even when it’s the…
