2. Poem: The Raven (by Edgar Allen Poe) Video
First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized
language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious
visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. A symbol is
something that represents something else. ... In 'The Raven' the symbol is obvious.
Poe himself meant the Raven to symbolize 'mournful, never-ending remembrance.'
Our narrator's sorrow for his lost, perfect maiden Lenore is the driving force
behind his conversation with the Raven.
