In Edgar Allan Poe's story The Raven, is he saying something about being ambitious, courageous or greedy?

Question

Or even about being jelous, happy or lonely ect.

Please explain!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

the poem is reflecting poe's lonelieness and his mournfullness towards his lost wife, Lenore. In many ways he connects this poem to his real life, and if you look deep into this and compare it to his biography you will see that this is true. "Nevermore" represents his sadness, depression and how much he misses how his life used to be.

Answer 2

The Raven has always been a symbol of death, and Edgar Allan Poe never got over the fact that his wife died young. He was a lonely person that did lots of Opium and wrote during these hallucinations.

Answer 3

It's about grief. The narrator has lost the love of his life, Lenore. The raven settles in his room and won't go away - and keeps saying "nevermore", to boot - as a physical symbol of his grief.

Did you even read the poem? (As a teacher, I'm obligated to ask.) ;)

Answer 4

If I'm not mistaken, Poe wrote "The Raven" after the death of his wife (she died of consumption), and her death affected him for the rest of his life.

The Raven is a poem about loss and mourning. He's lost "Lenore" and he will leave his depression "Nevermore."

Answer 5

I had to remember and recite this poem in 8th grade. Has stuck with me. I have always associated it with loneliness.
