Poem Analysis

 Edgar Allan Poe wrote "The Raven" as a ballad with eighteen six-line stanzas. It employs
trochaic octameter, a dramatic form of meter, to emphasize its heavy use of rhyme.
 The poem's first-person point of view allows readers to track the speaker's progression from
weary scholar to grieving lover. The loss of his great love, Lenore, haunts him throughout the
poem.
 The raven itself symbolizes death. It forces its way into the room, standing as a reminder of
Lenore's untimely death.
