The Raven Tpcastt

The farrow TPCASTT Title This poesy could be nigh a multitude of things with the title Poe chose, merely one thing that is clean-living is that it is about a seize. Judging from Poes other(a) works, it is likely about few kind of a rabid/demonic antedate. Also, it is very likely that this Raven will torture someone in some unimagin adapted itinerary that will destroy the person more so psychologically than physically. cite I was laying in my bedroom pondering life when I heard a belt at my accession. Maybe it is my dead married woman Lenore.No, that cant be it. It must just be someone coming by to visit me. I called down the hall apologizing for taking so coherent to answer the door, just no one was there. This sincerely freaked me out, so I called for Lenore, but again, there was no answer. I heard the roast again, perhaps its my window. I will check so I can have its darkness and not whatsoeverthing more than that. When I opened up my window a raven came flying in and landed above my door. I decided to hire the raven his chance on, and his only response was n perpetuallymore. I was really freaked out and amazed that there was a chick with the odd name of nevermore. The gentlewoman will for sure leave tomorrow, as everything else does. But the fizzle 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 sit down 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 imposition of Lenores 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?

The first, and possibly most important, is point of view. Poe uses first person because during the time head this was extremely scary material.And putting the readers directly into the narrators shoes did vigour but increase the fear factor. Also, unlike much literature of that time, Poe uses a softwood 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 lines the looks of everything in the house from the birds crest to the shadows being cast on the floor. Lastly, he takes advantage of the tactile sense by describing the birds beak shaft into his heart. Attitude Poe had a very cheerless attitude toward this whole poem.He wrote it temporary hookup his wife was dying of tuberculosis, a disease that had plagued him his entire life. Also, during this time he was very p oor and wasnt having any success qualification 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 congress him he will never be able to achieve dependable happiness. Shifts In the poem there are some, but not many shifts. The primary shifts come at the beginning but hence 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. past 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 cur iosity 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 by and large scared and curious as to why the bird is there. There is following 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 afterwards reading the poem my prediction was very close to correct.I did know that the bird would be torturing him. I didnt think that it would be in any way like he did, but that part was correct. Also, the bird was supernatural. opposite than that, the entire story line was very different than what I had initially expected. Theme The theme of this poem is that ones own head can ofttimes 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. Its almost as though he had wanted to be upset and was intentionally doing this to himself.
