The Raven Tpcastt

“The Raven” TPCASTT Title This poem could be about a multitude of things with the title Poe chose, but one thing that is clear is that it is about a Raven. Judging from Poe’s other works, it is likely about some kind of a rabid/demonic raven. Also, it is very likely that this Raven will torture someone in some unimaginable way that will destroy the person more so psychologically than physically. Paraphrase I was laying in my bedroom pondering life when I heard a knocking at my door. Maybe it is my dead wife Lenore.

No, that can’t be it. It must just be someone coming by to visit me. I called down the hall apologizing for taking so long to answer the door, but no one was there. This really freaked me out, so I called for Lenore, but again, there was no answer. I heard the knocking again, maybe it’s my window. I will check so I can confirm it’s darkness and not anything more than that. When I opened up my window a raven came flying in and landed above my door. I decided to ask the raven his name, and his only response was “nevermore. I was really freaked out and amazed that there was a bird with the odd name of “nevermore. ” The bird will for sure leave tomorrow, as everything else does. But the bird responded with “nevermore. ” He must have just learned this word from a bitter owner or someone passing by. There is no way it can be speaking to me. So, I just sat back down in my bed to ponder this. Wow, he actually must be a gift from god. I have to ask him if I will ever forget Lenore. He responded with “nevermore. ” If anything will the pain of Lenore’s death ever fade?

But, the raven said “nevermore. ” Will I ever be able to see my Lenore again, whether in this life or the afterlife? But, the raven said “nevermore. ” Get out of my house Raven! Get out of my house and get your beak out of my heart. But, the raven said “nevermore. ” The raven won’t leave and my soul will never be lifted and I’ll never be happy. Connotation This poem uses many poetic devices. The first, and possibly most important, is point of view. Poe uses first person because during the time period this was extremely scary material.

And putting the readers directly into the narrator’s shoes did nothing but increase the fear factor. Also, unlike much literature of that time, Poe uses a lot of imagery to pull readers into story. Phrases such as “tapping on my chamber door” and describing the echo of his voice give you a sense of auditory imagery. He deeply describes the looks of everything in the house from the bird’s crest to the shadows being cast on the floor. Lastly, he takes advantage of the tactile sense by describing the bird’s beak digging into his heart. Attitude Poe had a very depressing attitude toward this whole poem.

He wrote it while his wife was dying of tuberculosis, a disease that had plagued him his entire life. Also, during this time he was very poor and wasn’t having any success making it as a poet. He used this poem as a way to describe how the “demons” in the world felt toward him. He used sad and depressing language throughout the poem to really convey to the reader what he was feeling at the time. Also, he uses a techhnique where the poem starts off making the reader think it is going to be a happy poem where he is reunited with his dead wife and they all live happily ever after.

But instead, he is disappointed by a bird that is constantly telling him he will never be able to achieve true happiness. Shifts In the poem there are some, but not many shifts. The primary shifts come at the beginning but then the poem almost stables out and stays fairly level. The poem starts off on a sense of boredom with him drifting off in his chair. Then there is a sense of excitement when there is a knocking at the door. Then it is hope and happiness that it could be Lenore. But then it goes back to boredom and almost curiosity when there is nothing but darkness at the door.

He goes back to answer the window when he hears the knocking again which causes fear and excitement. When the bird flies in he is mostly scared and curious as to why the bird is there. There is next a sense of hope that this bird will be able to help him connect to his Lenore. From here on out it is almost nothing but anger at the bird as it refuses to say anything other than “nevermore,” and tells the narrator he is never going to be happy. Title After reading the poem my prediction was very close to correct.

I did know that the bird would be torturing him. I didn’t think that it would be in any way like he did, but that part was correct. Also, the bird was supernatural. Other than that, the entire story line was very different than what I had initially expected. Theme The theme of this poem is that one’s own head can often be the cause of his misery or grief. The man continues to ask the bird questions when he knows exactly what the bird will say. It’s almost as though he had wanted to be upset and was intentionally doing this to himself.
