Edgar Allen Poe has a unique way of making something that is very disturbing, a poetic masterpiece. One of the ways he does this is within his poetic style. He uses tools like alliteration, internal rhyme, and repetition. Poe is one of my favorite poets because he uses these tools to create something unique and memorable. The ideas that Poe plays with that create these disturbing emotions in the writing are mystery, the unknown, and the supernatural.
I like the way the story of the man and the raven seems so vivid and it really pulled me in with the compelling nature of the narrator's mental state. As I read this poem I found it very accessible because the idea of love and loss is something most of us feel. The ideas in this poem cannot be dated, however, there are a few exceptions including language, references to palaces(Athena). When I think of the raven I seen him as a demon and the evil within the narrator's mind.
