The Raven Nevermore!

Cover Illustration by Gustave Doré 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Once Upon a Midnight Dreary Typical Romantic themes: Death Love The Individual Emotion 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

While I Pondered weak and weary A plethora of literary techniques: Alliteration Assonance Refrain Internal rhyme Classical allusions 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

The Raven bauble by Shockwave 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Symbols When Poe had decided to use a refrain that repeated the word "nevermore," he found that it would be most effective if he used a non-reasoning creature to utter the word 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

More symbols Poe also considered a parrot as the bird instead of the raven; however, because of the melancholy tone, and the symbolism of ravens as birds of ill-omen, he found the raven more suitable for the mood in the poem 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

E.A. Poe The Raven“ hand-printed and hand- bound book “ 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Symbolism Another obvious symbol is the bust of Pallas. Why did the raven decide to perch on the goddess of wisdom? One reason could be, because it would lead the narrator to believe that the raven spoke from wisdom 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Midnight and December Both midnight and December, symbolize an end of something, and also the anticipation of something new 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

The chamber The chamber in which the narrator is positioned, is used to signify the loneliness of the man, and the sorrow he feels for the loss of Lenore 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

The Tempest The tempest outside, is used to even more signify the isolation of this man, to show a sharp contrast between the calmness in the chamber and the tempestuous night 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

“Nevermore” The phrase "from out my heart," Poe claims, is used, in combination with the answer "Nevermore," to let the narrator realize that he should not try to seek a moral in what has been previously narrated 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Language In "The Raven," the use of ancient and poetic language seems appropriate, since the poem is about a man spending most of his time with books of "forgotten lore." 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Books of Forgotten Lore 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Seraphim The fourteenth verse, "perfumed by an unseen censer / Swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled..." is used to illustrate the swift, invisible way a scent spreads in a room. A seraphim is one of the six-winged angels standing in the presence of God. 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Nepenthe Nepenthe," from the same verse, is a potion, used by ancients to induce forgetfulness of pain or sorrow. 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Balm in Gilead "Balm in Gilead," from the following verse, is a soothing ointment made in Gilead, a mountainous region of Palestine east of the Jordan river. 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Aidenn Aidenn," from the sixteenth verse, is an Arabic word for Eden or paradise. 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Plutonian Plutonian," characteristic of Pluto, the god of the underworld in Roman mythology. 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Pluto & Persephone 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Philosophy of Composition A poem should always be written short enough to be read in one sitting, and should, therefore, strive to achieve this single, unique effect. 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Philosophy of Composition Poe figured that the length of a poem should stay around one hundred lines, and "The Raven" is 108 lines. 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Written backwards The most important thing to consider in "Philosophy" is the fact that "The Raven," as well as many of Poe's tales, is written backwards. The effect is determined first, and the whole plot is set; then the web grows backwards from that single effect. 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Beauty Poe chose Beauty to be the theme of the poem, since "Beauty is the sole legitimate province of the poem" (Poe, 1850). 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Lenore 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

Death of a beautiful Woman Of all melancholy topics, Poe wanted to use the one that was universally understood, and therefore, he chose Death as his topic. Poe believed that the death of a beautiful woman was the most poetical use of death, because it closely allies itself with Beauty 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

The Climax the third verse from the end--Poe made sure that no preceding stanza would "surpass this in rhythmical effect." Poe then worked backwards from this stanza and used the word "Nevermore" in many different ways, so that even with the repetition of this word, it would not prove to be monotonous 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

No meaning in “Nevermore” Poe builds the tension in this poem, stanza by stanza, but after the climaxing stanza he tears the whole thing down, and lets the narrator know that there is no meaning in searching for a moral in the raven's "nevermore 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven

The Raven as a symbol The Raven is established as a symbol for the narrator's "Mournful and never-ending remembrance." "And my soul from out that shadow, that lies floating on the floor, shall be lifted - nevermore!" 11/8/2018 English 2- The Raven
