  1. I am agree with you doctor Hariri. Raven was really suspicious in this poem.

    • For sure, it was suspicious and mysterious.

  2. It was a complex poem and I had to search in different sites and watch several videos to undrstand the theme better.
    The poet talked about sorrow and grief. Also raven itself was a symbol of grief.

    • You got it right. The poem engendered feelings of fear, suspense, and sorrow, which is typical of Edgar Allan Poe’s style.

    • You’re right, Soroosh, and that’s for this very reason that Edgar Allan Poe has chosen this gloomy and dreary bird to cast a sense of foreboding in this poem.
