The Raven
During a cold, dark evening in December, a man is attempting to find some peace from the remembrance of his lost love, Lenore, by reading volumes of "forgotten lore." Has he begins to sleep, he hears a knock at the door. Believing that he is dreaming he hesitates to open the door, with ease he finally opens the door, to his dismay he sees only darkness. Into the darkness he can only mutter the word "Lenore." This is merely the beginning of the man's sadness for his "Lenore." Upon closing the door, another knock is immediately heard from the chamber's window. The man throws open the shutter and window, and in steps a large, beautiful raven, which immediately posts itself on the bust of Athena, a Greek Goddess, above the entrance of the room. The raven itself implies a symbol of torture, mainly self-inflicted torture, from the man over his lost love, Lenore. The Raven could also be considered to be a Mirage due to the pain he is enduring over the death of Lenore. Another cause to his hallucination can be found in the first line of the poem, where h
raven's role stays true to the end, even when the man asks the bird to stop torturing him
